| In accordance with state legislation, all dogs and cats in the Wellington Shire aged three months and over require registration.
Initial animal registrations must be paid for at a Wellington Shire Council Customer Service Centre in Sale or Yarram. Animal registration renewal payments can now be made online.
Animal registrations expire on 9 April each year.
As of 1 May 2007, all new applications to register a dog or cat cannot be accepted unless the dog or cat has a microchip implant(of which proof must be provided). This includes dogs and cats moving into the municipality from another Council.

For entitlements to reduced registration fees the owner of the animal must produce proof of sterilisation, microchip implant, membership of approved association, obedience papers, breeding license, statutory declaration or tax return for proof of working dog status.
Once payment has been received, your registration tag will become valid. If this tag is lost, a replacement may be purchased at council customer service centres for a fee of $4.50.
Failing to register your animals each year can result in a fine of $234. Random spot checks will now be performed on animals in the Wellington Shire area and on the spot fines will be issued for non compliance.
