Equine Services - Services - Equine Passports

All horses, ponies and donkeys need to have a horse passport to identify them. Passports are also required in order for horses to be sold and to allow the use of certain medicines.

All foals need to have a passport before they are six months old, or by the 31^st December of the year it was born, whichever is later.

In order to apply for a passport for the first time the horse must have a microchip implanted by a vet. This is a small capsule, about the size of a grain of rice, which contains an individual identity number. This number is then recorded on the passport and on a national database.

The microchip is inserted into the left hand side of the neck, just below the line of the mane and is a very quick process.
