To view these forms, you will need the freely available Adobe Reader software installed on your computer, version 4 or higher.
These are “fillable forms” and may be filled out on your computer. Please note that a fillable form isn’t the same as electronic filing and it is not possible to electronically submit a form—you must print it out after entering the information. Complete instructions are provided on the first page of the application.

Rabies Immunization Voucher Program
Free rabies vaccinations are available to all dogs and cats belonging to Randolph residents. Our Health Department issues vouchers that are accepted by participating local veterinarians. These vouchers are included in the upper right hand of your pet’s license application. You will not be required to pay in advance; the veterinarian takes care of the paperwork. Veterinarians request that you call ahead to schedule an appointment for the vaccination. If you use a rabies voucher, you MUST bring the license application (TWO copies) with you to the veterinarian. If you have questions, call the Health Department at 973.989.7050.
