As evidence that a dog has been vaccinated against rabies and as a means of identification, the Rabies Regulation (Cap. 421A) requires that a microchip in a specified format is implanted before issuing a dog licence.
(Note : according to the permit term granted to the permittee, dogs and cats imported must be identified by microchips which are listed on the accompanying animal health certificates before arrival. If the existing microchip does not comply with the legal requirements for the identification of dogs in Hong Kong, the animal will have a conforming microchip IMPLANTED upon arrival in Hong Kong at the expense of the permittee or agent.)
