New Microchip Policy for Dogs in Hong Kong: Full Implementation of ISO Microchips and What You Need
According to two official notices published in the Gazette by the Hong Kong SAR Government on 6 June 2025, the government will introduce microchips that comply with the standards of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO 11784 and 11785), embedded with a Hong Kong-specific code. These microchips will be used for canine identification and serve as official proof of rabies vaccination. At the same time, the announcement exempts legally imported dogs from the mandatory implantation of a Hong Kong-coded microchip, facilitating cross-border pet management and promoting animal welfare.
