!!! IMPORTANT RELICENSING 

INFORMATION !!!

UPDATED AWA REGULATIONS REQUIRE 

SUBMISSION OF LICENSE APPLICATIONS 

90 DAYS PRIOR TO EXPIRATION 

On November 9, 2020 AC implemented the updated AWA regulations. These changes aim to promote 

compliance, reduce licensing administrative burdens, and strengthen safeguards to ensure humane care for 

animals covered under the Animal Welfare Act.

Licensees are now required to demonstrate compliance with the AWA by successfully passing a re-license 

inspection before a new license will be issued. Newly issued licenses will be active for three-years. 

Animal Care utilized a phased-in approach to implementation by randomly selecting one third of active 

licensees to transition to the three-year license each year for the next 3 years. You are receiving this notice 

because your license is due to transition to a three-year license.

Your re-license application must be submitted to Animal Care 90 days PRIOR to the expiration date of your 

current license. This will afford you and your inspector time to conduct a re-license inspection prior to your 

current license expiring. In this application kit we have included all the information that will assist you through 

this new licensing process. If you have further questions, please feel free to contact your home inspector or our 

office at AnimalCare@usda.gov or 970-494-7478.

DON’T DELAY APPLY TODAY!!!

RE: LICENSE EXPIRATION REMINDER

Dear Licensee:

This letter is to inform you that your U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal Welfare 

Act (AWA) license is set to expire and your application is due. All licensing applications are 

now required to be received 90 days prior to the expiration date of your current license.

Please complete the enclosed application and tax identification form and return them to the 

above address, along with your non-refundable $120.00 licensing fee. You may pay by 

cashier’s check, certified check, personal check, money order or credit card. If you choose to 

pay with a credit card, please use the enclosed credit card authorization form. Animal Care 

cannot accept cash payments. 

You may submit your application and credit card payment via email to

AnimalCare@usda.gov. If you have questions about your email application, please contact 

our office. If you choose to mail your application and payment it is recommended to use a 

mailing service that provides a tracking number. All applications are processed in the order 

that they are received. 

After your application and payment is received and processed, an inspector will contact 

you to schedule your re-license inspection. You are afforded up to three re-licensing

inspections within 60 days to demonstrate compliance with the AWA. If you do not

demonstrate compliance within 60 days of the first announced inspection your application 

will be terminated. As a reminder, your current license will expire on the date listed on 

your license certificate. If your license expires and you continue to conduct regulated

activity, you will be in violation of the AWA and regulations.

The AWA now requires that any changes to your animal inventory, addition of dangerous 

animals, changes to your name, address, location, control, or ownership of your business must 

be reported to the office and may require a new license and re-license inspection. 

Your AWA license application must be received 90 days prior to the expiration date of 

your current license.

We hope this information is helpful, and we look forward to hearing from you. Contact

your home inspector or this office at (970) 494-7478 if you have any questions regarding 

this letter or the Animal Welfare Act.
