Holy Cats - UKC Now Accepts Online Dog Ownership Transfers!
Available now!
November 14, 2024
In case you missed it: dog ownership transfers are now accepted via the UKC website!
What is an Ownership Transfer?
A "Transfer" occurs when:
- You have purchased a dog already registered with UKC and need to put the dog in your own name ("transfer" it from old owner to new owner)
- A puppy already has puppy papers and you need to permanently register the pup ("transfer" it from the breeder to new owner, which might still be you)
- You need to add, remove, make changes to who is listed as the Sole Signatory and/or any of the Successors ("transfer" it from current Sole Signatory and Successors to the new)
Before November 13th, these two processes were not supported online at the UKC website. Now they are!Previously you could SINGLE REGISTER a dog online (with papers from another registry) or LITTER REGISTER your pups online.
The recent announcement now means you can TRANSFER dog ownership online as well! You no longer need to mail in the puppy papers to finish registering a litter registered pup. Or if you buy a dog, you no longer have to mail in the papers to get the dog in your name that can all be done online! UKC will mail you your updated Pedigree and Ownership Certificate in return.
