The primary way to obtain a monkey license is to contact the governmental body responsible for animal health in your region. The exact regulator can vary based on your location, but in the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is primarily responsible for issuing permits and licenses related to primates.
Any potential pet owner will need to apply for a license before housing a monkey, and will be subject to careful regulations to ensure the health and safety of both animal and people. Additionally, the regulations may also differ depending on if the monkey is for private or commercial use, so it is important to check your region’s regulations before applying for a license.
