What do Pet Travel Pass need to make my AHC?
We recommend applying for your pets AHC at least 6 weeks in advance.
In order for us to complete your AHC, we need 2 pieces of paperwork;
- Our simple application form returned as a typed PDF to hello@pettravelpass.uk
- Evidence of your pets rabies vaccine and their microchip being scanned before the vaccine was given. See below for what we accept for this. We advise getting your pet's rabies vaccine done more than 6 weeks before travel.
Once we have received the application form and evidence of your pet's rabies vaccine and microchip check, we will then arrange to meet up with you and your pet at either Sherwood Business Park NG15 0EA or Giltbrook Retail Park NG16 2RP to issue your certificate.
Please note: For our lowest priced standard service we must receive the required paperwork more than 7 days before the AHC is required.

What counts as Evidence of Rabies Vaccination?
An essential part of the Animal Health Certificate is evidence of a valid rabies vaccine AND evidence that your pet's microchip was scanned before the rabies vaccine was given.
We accept 3 forms of rabies vaccine evidence:
- Pet's clinical history: This is the easiest way to send all the information we require. Please contact your vet clinic to request that they email your pets history to hello@pettravelpass.uk. Due to GDPR rules, you must give permission for your pets notes to be forwarded to us.
- Previously issued AHC: If you have a previous Animal Health Certificate and none of the owner or pet details have changed, please email photos of pages 1, 4, 8 and 10 onwards (or pages 1, 3, 5 and 7 onwards for AHCs made for travel to Ireland).
- Rabies vaccination certificate: NB: This is NOT a hand written vaccine card! This is a stamped and certified A4 document on headed paper with details of the rabies vaccine and testifying that the pet's microchip was scanned when the vaccine was given. Please send a photo of the certificate along with your application form to hello@pettravelpass.uk
