Mandatory Breeder Identification Numbers
From 1 December 2025, all breeder identification numbers (BINs) will include two eligibility classes: dog breeder and cat breeder.
BINs issued before 1 December 2025 will not be cancelled or reissued. They will be updated with:
- Active cat breeder eligibility
- Inactive dog breeder eligibility
Dog breeders with an existing BIN must activate dog breeder eligibility to continue breeding after 1 December 2025.
BINs issued after this date will have both classes activated.
The quickest way to apply for a BIN, or activate dog breeder eligibility, is to log in or create an account at the NSW Pet Registry.
