Reciprocal Registration is a transfer of balance of the current year's registration of an animal from one Local Government area to another. This means there is no fee to register in that current financial year.

Reciprocal registration can occur when:

• It is a new registration
• An animal or cat (other than a regulated dog) is currently registered with another Local Government in Australia and satisfactory proof of registration is produced to council (such as a receipt or registration certificate)
  
  Please remember to:
• update your animals new residency details on the National Database (micro chipping)
• advise council of your leaving and returning to the Toowoomba Regional Council area as required under the Act. Reciprocal registration is not available unless you have advise council of these changes.

If you qualify for reciprocal registration please:

• Complete an Animal Registration Form for the animal/s
• Return completed form to any of council's service centres along with;
• Provide proof of current registration (receipt or registration certificate) with another local government.
• Provide an Animal/s microchip number if applicable (If the animal is micro chipped, please ensure that you update your address and contact details with the national database)
• Proof of desexing (if you wish to claim this desexed animal rebate)

There isn't a fee for reciprocal registration. This will apply for the remainder of council's current year of registration.
