Simply fill out a downloadable request for a duplicate registration certificate from the AKC website. The registration application is in .pdf format and requires Adobe Acrobat Reader version 4.0 or newer. However, if you are unable to download the forms, you can send your name and mailing address to <b><u>orderdesk@akc.org<\/u><\/b> and have a form mailed to you by the AKC.<\/p><p>You\u2019ll need to provide information about your dog, their sex, their AKC registered name, date of birth, and their AKC registration number. Don&#8217;t worry if you don&#8217;t have your dog&#8217;s AKC registration information readily available. You can also use the dam\u2019s (mother) and sire\u2019s (father) AKC registration numbers. If none of those AKC registration numbers are available to you, contact the AKC via phone or email for assistance.<\/p><p>Next, you\u2019ll need to fill in your contact information as the owner, including your full name, mailing address, telephone number and email address. All duplicate registration certificate requests must be completed and signed by the owner of the dog, as it is shown on AKC records. The AKC will only release information about a registered dog to its recorded owner. In other words, if you are not registered with the AKC as the dog\u2019s owner, you cannot obtain any information regarding the dog, nor can you request a duplicate registration certificate.<\/p><p>Make sure to use black ink and capital letters to fill in the boxes. The processing fee for the duplicate registration certificate is $20 and is payable by VISA, AMEX, MasterCard, Discover, and check or money order. Once you\u2019ve filled out the form, mail it and the processing fee to the AKC Corporate Office at the address below:<\/p><p>The American Kennel Club<br \/>8051 Arco Corporate Drive, Suite 100 <br \/>Raleigh, NC 27617-3390<\/p><p>If you need assistance, email AKC at <b><u>info@akc.org<\/u><\/b> or call 919-233-9767 to speak to an AKC Customer Service Representative during regular business hours (Eastern Standard Time) from Monday through Friday.
