Can I apply for a dog license without a chip?

Is it possible to apply for a dog license without a chip? The chip is not a necessary procedure for applying for a dog license. The purpose of injecting microchips into dogs is for the government to better manage dogs. The chip is injected into the dog's body through subcutaneous injection. By scanning the chip with a professional instrument, the dog's information, owner's contact information, vaccination status, etc. can be identified. There are many benefits to dog chip injection.
