As per California State law, a pet license may not be valid at anytime a pet's rabies vaccination is expired.

As you are required to provide documentation to demonstrate proof that your pet has a valid rabies vaccination, our customer representatives are not able to review this documentation and therefore cannot process licenses over the phone. You must license online where you can upload the required documentation, or present it in person at a vendor location.
If you do have a valid rabies vaccination in your online account and are looking to renew your pet's license you may call Mono County Animal Services customer service team to update your record by calling (760) 932-5635 or emailing animal@mono.ca.gov.

Temporary licenses expire after 90 days. To convert a temporary license into a full license you must provide new proof of rabies expiration prior to the temporary license expiration date. If the rabies expiration date extends beyond the original term selected your pet's license may be extended to the full term originally selected.

Licenses are required to be renewed prior to the expiration date depending on the length of the license term you purchased.

License transfers may be granted in certain cases. Please visit Mono County Animal Services in person to learn more.

Licenses expire exactly 1, 2, or 3 years from the license start date. If you renew prior to the upcoming expiration date, your pet's new license will start the day after expiration, not on the date of purchase. Rabies must be valid during the time of renewal.

Once you’ve got the paperwork in your hands, take a look to ensure:

• The document provided is the right type of proof required.
• Pet and pet owner account data matches your own.
