Horse Passport Agency

The law requires you have a passport, registered in your ownership, for each horse, donkey or mule you own. You must keep the passport updated. ALL horses kept in Great Britain must be microchipped and have that microchip number officially linked to the passport by the issuer. If you have a Horse Passport Agency passport (which we issue) or a Pleasure Horse Society passport (which we maintain) we can help. For all other passports please contact the passport issuer. We have been helping horse owners since 2003 and have issued 304608 passports

Ownership, Microchip & Other Updates

Keep your horse’s passport up to date! Make sure it is registered in your name and linked to the correct microchip. If your horse has been signed out of the food chain, we will need to record this on the Central Equine Database. Most updates for Horse Passport Agency passports can be completed quickly and easily online via your Owner Services account.

Lost Passport?

We can help if the original passport was issued by the Horse Passport Agency, Pleasure Horse Society or, in certain circumstances, was originally issued as a Basic Identity Passport in Ireland.

To apply for a duplicate passport, ask your vet to visit and complete our Duplicate Passport application form.
