Create a NSW Pet Registry account

Don’t have a MyServiceNSW account?  

To set up a MyServiceNSW account, you need details from 2 identity documents (such as Australian driver licence, Medicare card, passport).

Your MyServiceNSW account can be used for a variety of NSW Government services, so it’s handy to keep these details saved for future use. 

When setting up your account for the first time, we recommend ticking the option to save your identification documents. This way, you won’t have to upload them again next time you use your account for other NSW Government transactions. 

Link my pet

Once you are logged in to the NSW Pet Registry, you may not see your pet’s profile.

Click on ‘link my pet’ and enter your pet’s 15-digit microchip number to connect them to your profile. 

If you’re unsure of your pet’s microchip number, you can reach out to your regular veterinarian. Many local councils can also scan your pet’s microchip and provide you with the number on the spot. 

To link successfully, your contact details must match the details on your pet’s record: 

  • your full legal given name and family name
  • your mobile number or email address. 

To help the registry find your pet’s record, you can enter either an alternative email address or an alternative mobile number.

My contact or personal details have changed

It is essential to keep your contact information current on the NSW Pet Registry. 

Keeping your information updated means we can contact you quickly if your pet is missing or found. Take a moment now to check your details and update them if necessary—help us reunite you with your pet when it matters most.

Legal names cannot be changed online. Change of name requests must be submitted to your local council with accompanying documentation.
