You must hold a Northern Territory (NT) three-letter brand before you can apply for an earmark.

Step 2. Choose three earmarks and ear position using the NT Code index of Registered Earmarks for Use with Registered Brands in the NT - this is on the instructions attached to the application form.

Step 3. Pay the fee. Attach a cheque made out to the Receiver of Territory Monies or fill in the credit card charge details on the form.
