Licensing of activities involving animals

The Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) (Scotland) Regulations 2021 place a legal duty upon the council to publish a register of certain information held in respect of animal licenses granted by the authority.

The current register is duly published below.

Licensable activities

Subject to exemptions, a licence is required to carry out the following activities:

  • selling of animals as pets
  • engaging in animal rehoming activities
  • operating an animal welfare establishment
  • breeding three or more litters of puppies in any 12-month period
  • breeding three or more litters of kittens in any 12-month period
  • breeding six or more litters of kits (baby rabbits) in any 12-month period

How to apply for a licence

You can request an application form by using the contact details provided on this page and return the application, together with the required fee, to:

North Lanarkshire Council
Protective Services
2nd Floor, Civic Centre
Windmillhill Street

Alternatively, you can email the completed application to InfrastructureMailboxRS&WS@northlan.gov.uk

You can pay the application fee by debit/credit card. Call us on 01236 856361 to arrange this.
