Hi all,

Recently I went to MPPP (I'm from Penang) to apply dog license for my 8 month old pup. Anyway, there is a change of ruling. According to the vet office, this rule have just been launch. The currently requirement is

1. Need to apply pet passport
2. Need to got to government vet to get microchip jab.

More or less the procedures are as following :

1. Take pic of left side (head & whole body - including tail) and right side (head & whole body - including tail) - 2R size
2. Take pic of whole body (sitting position) and back body (back leg & tail) - passport size
3. Bring the 4 pics and your dog to the government vet at Jalan Gurdwara, Penang. For microchip and passport application (Monday & Wed only) - open from 8.45am. (Do try to go in the morning.)
4. Pay RM25 (passport and chip), get chip injected and wait for few days for the vet office to call you (vet need to get signature/approval from government).
5. Once with the pet passport, you can go to MPPP to apply for license. (First year free) after that every year renewal is RM10.

Passport is for life but license is (1st Jan - 31st Dec) - 365 days license. Regardless when you go to MPPP to apply. I'm currently at step 4. I'll attached a sample pic of the requirement and once I get the passport will also attach the pic. I'll also check if renewal cases need to apply for passport.

does this apply to other state?

I'm not too sure. I'll check when I go collect my pet passport. When I called up they say they are planning to. Whether it has been commence or not you will need to go call the government vet nearest to you or check with your nearest Majlis Perbandaran

crap... so much hassle

Yup. It cos RM20 for the pics. 2R pic printing identical pic x 2 and passport size printing identical pic x 4. Hence you will have duplicate copies of pic.

I'm from Butterworth. Does this apply to MPSP? I don't think I can get my doggie to stand still and sit still for me to take the photos

I'm not too sure. You will need to contact the MPSP. I believe it would be the same. You will need to get help from someone else. Erm.. I use a helper and also treats. At the moment because the system is new, they are very lenient with the photos. I'll attach pics shortly.

but my dogs are 2 years old..will they let my dog apply?

Nvr apply before? Yes.. so far no restriction on age yet.

From SPCA newsletter

Yup.. saw that but pricing all "lari". Hopefully I'm not cheated by the staff. Waiting for my passport.

Who does the photography? The passport guys or we have to take pictures then bring it to them?

Temporary is we have to snap pics then bring it to them. I think I read somewhere they are suppose to do it, but doubt it la.. they so short-handed.

besides government vet at Jalan Gurdwara, does others vet clinic proide the service as well?

I need to get the license for 2013 now in Penang. Didn't to do it last yr done by Mom but now Mom's not around anymore.
So, i just need to bring the photo? i don't need the bloody passport. Sheer stupidity that.

And go to Beach Street? no more Padang Kota Lama is it?

Asking here because nobody is picking up the MPPP line and this is 1 of the only place i can ask when googling dog license Penang.

Thanks.

It's already December, wait a bit and straight get one for year 2014

And yes, Beach Street is the one.
