If you do not wish for a vet to complete the silhouette of your horse or
donkey you can contact an Identifier. An Identifier is someone that has been
recommended to us by a veterinary surgeon and who has shown to us that they can
complete silhouettes to a high standard.
We currently have 168 identifiers around the country. Identifiers are not employed
by the Horse Passport Agency. They are individuals who have been recommended to the
Horse Passport Agency by a veterinary surgeon and have shown that they can complete
silhouettes to a high standard. They are therefore recognised to sign as the Competent Authority.
