KUCHING, Nov 3: Kuching North City Commission (DBKU) residents can now apply for their dog’s license online via Dog License System.

In order to obtain a dog license, DBKU said that applicants need to register and complete personal information at SarawakID website at http://sarawakid.sarawak.gov.my (for those who have yet to register).

Secondly, applicants are also required to fill in details of their pet dog as well as upload its photo to http://doglicense.sarawak.gov.my.

The completed forms together with other supported documents can be submitted online to DBKU for approval.

Applicants will be informed to collect the license and dog tag at DBKU Licensing Counter at Jalan Satok or Jalan Depo in Semariang here.
