I AM AN APPLICANT

Before you apply for your Animal Products, Organisms and Vectors permits it is important to note that if your application results in a 

permit, you will see two different numbers associated with the permit. 

Permit Numbers: 

1. Ref # - System Generated Permit Record Number (P-00001234)

• This number is the Record ID number that is autogenerated when a permit has been created. This is not a smart

number, and does not represent the year, permit type, or any additional information.

2. Permit # - APHIS Permit Number (610-20-201-00015)

• This is the number on your permit and the number that CBP will reference when needed.

• The format of this number is: Program Prefix-Calendar Year-Ordinal Day-Sequential Number

• The Program Prefix indicated the type of permit.
