Microchipping laws in Cyprus

Hefty fines are applied to those who do not microchip their dogs. The law also states that no owner can have more than 2 dogs registered in his/her name.

Below is the process for microchipping in Cyprus.

• Take your dog to a registered vet.

• Registered vet microchips your dog.

• Fill in the Microchipping Record with your details, your dog’s and the microchip.

• The vet practice enters your dog’s microchip details onto the Cyprus Veterinary Services database and

• Issues you with the microchipping certificate the system automates.

• Take a utility bill, your ID, your dog’s health book and microchipping certificate to your appropriate Municipality to register the dog.

Once your paperwork is processed, the Municipality’s dog warden will come by your residence at some stage to check on the living conditions of your dog.The “dog licence” is payable every 12 months.
