A
purebred dog is eligible for AKC registration if its litter has been
registered. When you purchase a dog said to be AKC-registrable, you
should get an individual Registration
Application from the seller. Once the application has been
completed, you should submit it to the AKC with the proper fee. In
about three weeks, you will receive your dog's AKC
Registration Certificate.
Filling
out the Application
The
Registration Application must be filled out jointly by the litter
owner and the new owner of the dog. The application is color-coded
for the convenience of both parties.
The
litter owner must fill out the most of the application,
including the following information:
-
Sex
of dog
- Color
and markings of dog
- Registration
Type (Full or Limited)
- Transfer
date
- Name
and address of all new owners and co-owners
- Signatures
of all litter owners
The
new owner of the dog must fill out the following:
-
Name
of dog
- Signatures
of all owners and co-owners
- Payment
information
- Registration
Options (For purchasing pedigrees and videos)
Please
note that each litter owner and each new owner must sign the
application individually. It is crucial that all sections of the
application are filled out correctly. Failure to properly complete
the application will result in processing delays.
When
the application has been received and processed by the AKC, an AKC
Registration Certificate will be mailed to the owner. The owner
should examine the certificate carefully and report any errors to the
AKC. It takes about 18 working days to process an application.
