Proof of Rabies Vaccination & Neuter / Spay

If you are licensing a dog in Princeton, a certificate of rabies vaccination must be supplied and the vaccination may not expire prior to November 1 of the calendar year. If the animal has been neutered/spayed a certificate or other written proof is required in order to be exempt from a $3 surcharge. These certificates will be returned to you.

In order to obtain a license, be sure to enclose a valid rabies vaccination certificate and proof of spaying/neutering, if applicable. New Jersey State law requires that the rabies vaccination cannot expire prior to November 1st of the licensing year.
