Your dog must wear a registration tag at all times. If you lose the tag, you can ask for a replacement. Once approved, your old tag will be out of date.

We will start sending dog registration renewal notices for the 2026/2027 registration year from 1 June 2026. Note that replacement tags do not renew your dog’s registration. All dog registrations must still be renewed on 1 July. We will only issue replacement tags for the current 2025/2026 registration year until 1 June 2026.
How to get a replacement registration tag
Before you start
If you have moved house or would like to change your mailing address, you will need to update your mailing address before requesting a new disc or strap.
You need to do this to ensure your dog tag is sent to the right address.
We aim to have your replacement tag with you in 10 working days.

To order a replacement disc or strap your dog must have a current Auckland Council registration.

If using a strap, soak it in warm water to make it easier to bend and loop around your dog's collar.
