In the title salt, C(10)H(10)N(3) (+)·ClO(4) (-), the 4-(4-pyridylamino)-pyridinium cations are linked into chains via N-H⋯N hydrogen bonding and into layers by C-H⋯π inter-actions [C⋯Cg = 3.3875 (19) Å]. Perchlorate ions are anchored to the layer motifs by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonding. The perchlorate anion was found to be disordered about a Cl-O axis, with two sites, each of equal occupancy, being resolved for the three remaining O atoms.
