All equines are required to have a horse passport (Horse Passport Regulations 2009 ). Owners who declare in the passport that their horse is not intended for human consumption have access to a wide range of low cost veterinary medicines. Your vet is required to check the passport before treating your horse.
If your horse does not have a passport then apply now! If you have bought a horse that already has a passport you must register your ownership with the Issuer within 30 days.
Most updates to passports can be done quickly, cheaply and safely on-line through Owner Services without the need to return the passport. Vets and Owners can apply for a passport online and have it issued the same day for just £17.50 (conditions apply).
ON LINE PASSPORTS - FASTER AND CHEAPER: Just £18.40 and posted 1st class recorded the same day (conditions apply).
