When issuing a passport, we will first check the data to be recorded in the passport, and then check the microchip of your pet. If your pet does not already have a microchip, we will implant one, as this is a requirement for the passport to be issued. We will then issue the passport – if necessary - within half an hour. The passport is valid for travel within the European Union.
It is important to note that a valid rabies vaccination is required for travel and therefore for the passport as well! If your pet does not have this vaccination or if his/her previous rabies vaccination has expired, the new vaccination will only become valid on the 21st day after the date of administration and he/she will be able to travel legally from that date!
