There is no fee to obtain a Temporary Competition Number.
When applying for a TCN online, after selecting Dog Registration, please select the option for a dog number for the sole purpose of competing in events. The option for a TCN will then display.

A TCN can also be obtained by completing a hard copy paper application and mailing it to the CKC.
