How do I Obtain a PIC
A Property Identification Code (PIC) is the eight character alphanumeric code allocated by DPI or the equivalent authority in other States and Territories to a livestock producing property. If you own cattle, sheep, goats, alpacas, llamas, horses, deer or more than 100 poultry (being any domesticated fowl, including emu or ostriches), you require a PIC.
Victorian PIC's begin with the numeral 3, followed by 4 letters and 3 more numerals, eg; 3ABCD123. The first letters identify the municipality of the property.
A producer can obtain a PIC by completing the application form below. Application forms are also available from DPI offices, or by phoning DPI's NLIS Helpline on 1800 678 779 during business hours to have a form sent by mail or fax.
