Steps to request your
AHC
Step 2
Submit supporting documentation to prove your pet’s rabies vaccination and microchip reading status. It is important to provide good quality pictures/scans of the supporting documents.
Please see below types of supporting documents we are able to accept to issue an AHC.
01
Clinical Record
We cannot accept clinical records sent by pet owners. To ensure authenticity and compliance, your veterinary practice must email your pet’s clinical records directly to us
This documentation is required to validate your pet's eligibility for Animal health certification. Incomplete or owner-submitted records will not be accepted.
- Scanned Microchip
- The Vaccine Manufacturer
- The Vaccine Brand Name
- The Vaccine Batch Number
02
Previously Issued AHC
If your pet has previously been issued an Animal Health Certificate (AHC) by an Official Veterinarian and the rabies vaccination recorded in that certificate is still valid, we can use the existing AHC to confirm your pet’s identity and rabies vaccination status. This may help speed up the process for your new AHC.
03
Pet Passport
Only properly completed pet passports can be accepted. The passport must include a valid (in-date) rabies vaccination, and the vaccination entry must be correctly certified.
Rabies Vaccination Entry – Required Details:
To certify the rabies vaccination properly, the following must be recorded in the passport:
- Veterinarian's Name
- Veterinarian's Signature
