Dog register registration

Read aloud

Registration can be done by post, telephone or online. A registration already made in other registers, such as TASSO, does not count as registration in the central register. Registration in the central register must therefore be carried out in any case.

Registration in the dog register does not replace the separate registration of the dog at the place of residence.

Responsibility lies with the Central Register in accordance with § 16 NHundG, which is managed by KSN Kommunales Systemhaus Niedersachsen GmbH on the basis of a loan.

Only the transponder number (identification number) of the transponder/chip that the animal has received at the veterinary practice in accordance with the chip obligation is required for registration. It is issued by veterinarians when a transponder (chip) is inserted. The identification number must be retained and kept available for the register application. A tattoo number is not sufficient and does not meet the legal requirements, as every dog older than 6 months must have an implanted transponder. The identification numbers of transponders that were implanted before the legal chip obligation in 2011 can also be specified.

There is a one-off fee for new registrations.

Deadlines must be observed. Please contact the responsible office.

Application Deadline: 1 Month
If the dog is older than six months when you start keeping it, you must register it in the dog register within one month of starting to keep the dog.

When registering online, proof of registration is displayed for printing. If you register in writing or by telephone, you must also request that it be sent by post. The proof will then be sent by post.
Failure to register is an administrative offense in accordance with § 18 Para. 1 No. 4 of the Lower Saxony Law on the Keeping of Dogs (NHundG) and can be punished with a fine of up to 10,000.00 euros.
