Horse Microchipping

 

Horse Microchipping

If you own or keep a horse or similar animal, it must be microchipped and must have an official identification document, known as a horse passport. This is required under EU law. There are 3 parts to the identification system for horses:

  1. An equine (horse) passport, which is valid for the horse’s lifetime

  2. A microchip implant, which links the animal to the passport

  3. A Unique Equine Life Number (UELN)

The passport issuing bodies supply the microchips, which must be implanted by a vet. We then supply the information to the issuing body’s database. The horse’s Unique Equine Life Number (UELN) appears on its passport and identifies it with the issuing body.
