the Dogs (Jersey) Law 1961

Each year you are obliged to complete the licence application form as you are declaring that you continue to accept the important responsibilities of being a dog owner, such as but not limited to: proper control near livestock, on the lead beach walking restrictions and removal of dog waste.

The form also helps us ensure your data is correct, up to date and assists our audit process.

You can print the form at home (find it here Dog Licence | Parish of St Lawrence) and deliver it to the Hall before 31 Jan enclosing the fee or we can send you a form in the mail. If you wish to pay by card, please note this on your form with your daytime telephone number or go to the payment link on this website (renewals only).
