| Note: | The dog-badge system had already been phased out, the authority is no longer issuing such badge for new dog licence applications. As Singapore is gearing towards a more reliable way of pet dog identification, the current recommended practice is for dog to be implanted with microchip. Please take note that microchipping is mandatory for all dogs imported into Singapore. |
