Horse Passport Agency
The law in Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) requires you to have a passport, registered in your ownership, for each horse, donkey or mule you own. You must also ensure that the passport is kept up to date. ALL horses kept in Great Britain must be microchipped, and the microchip number must be officially linked to the passport by the issuing organisation. If you keep equines in Great Britain and have a Horse Passport Agency passport, which we issue, or a Pleasure Horse Society passport, which we maintain, we can help with passport updates. For all other passports, please contact the passport issuer. For equines kept outside Great Britain, you must contact the relevant authorities in your own country for assistance with passport updates. We have been helping horse owners since 2003 and have issued 305507 passports

Ownership, Microchip & Other Updates
Owners in Great Britain must keep their horse’s passport up to date! Make sure it is registered in your name and linked to the correct microchip. If your horse has been signed out of the food chain, we will need to record this on the Central Equine Database. Most updates for Horse Passport Agency passports can be completed quickly and easily online via your Owner Services account.
Lost Passport?
We can help if the original passport was issued by the Horse Passport Agency, Pleasure Horse Society and resides in Great Britain. In certain circumstances if the equine resides in GB was originally issued as a Basic Identity Passport in Ireland we may also be able to help .
