(ii) a legible copy
				  of the document must be stapled to the original and each copy of the
				  ICVI.

				  and
(ii) either the unique serial
				  number on the document or, if the document is not imprinted with a serial
				  number, both the name of the person who prepared the document and the date the
				  document was signed.
(5)
				  The ICVI shall be valid for 30 days following the date of inspection of the
				  animal identified on the document.
