Registration Procedure Instructions

2019 Passport Cancel ID-Only Passport & Re-Issue Registered Breed Passport Application Form

UK EQUINE LAW requires ALL IMPORTED HORSES to be REGISTERED with their UK PIO within 30 DAYS of ARRIVAL

Our National Breed Association is a Passport Issuing Office (PIO) for DEFRA, and is the UK National Office for the Spanish Studbook – ANCCE-LGPRE, Sevilla, Spain. The BAPSH Ltd also looks after the requirements of other horses imported from Spain who clearly have Purebred Spanish Horse ancestry judging by their conformation and characteristics.

These horses are entered into Register II Section 1 The PRE FUSION HORSE STUDBOOK Appendix-B which is for Riding & Pleasure Horses.

PRE Fusion Studbook Appendix-B horses may be bred to Approved for Breeding PRE horses or Approved for Breeding PRE Fusion Horses and the resulting progeny will be registered into PRE Fusion Horse Studbook Appendix-A.

The progeny of Appendix-A horses will be registered into the Main Studbook providing the other parent is Approved for Breeding PRE horses or Approved for Breeding PRE Fusion Horse. This enables a structured  breeding programme to be created around a highly talented UNCERTIFIED PEDIGREE or NON-PEDIGREE PRE-type horse.

The PIO for Imported Andalusians, horses of PRE-Type NOT Registered with ANCCE-LGPRE, or PRE/Andalusian-Type Partbreds is the BAPSH Ltd who can register, update and certify passports from all the Spanish Regional Government PIOs, eg. Murcia, Andalucia, Gallicia, Catalunia etc. Transfer of Ownership is included in the registration process and an Invoice, Receipt, or Contract of Sale should be provided to show that it is a legal sale to you.
BAPSH will also need a copy of the Intra-Trade Certificate, or similar travel document, that accompanied your horse to the UK (the tranport company should give you this upon delivery of the horse). 

PROCEDURE

1.Take 4 photographs of the horse to assist in his/her identification. These photographs must consist of

i.The whole horse from the RIGHT-side with the horse at right- angles to the camera – head and neck raised.

ii.The whole horse from the LEFT-side with the horse at right- angles to the camera – head and neck raised.

iii.The front of the horse, including his/her head (showing nasal bone, nostril shape, eye-set, etc)

iv.The rear of the horse, taken from directly behind the horse, showing tailset, pelvic and croup shape.

2.Download the 2019 IMPORT REGISTRATION APPLICATION FORM FOR ALL BREEDS IN REGISTER II STUDBOOKS (Including Non-Pedigree Horses)

3.Complete all the Owner details in black or blue ink in legible capitals on the 1st page of the Registration Application form. Add as much other information as possible, including any un-certified pedigree or parentage information you have. Complete and sign and date the Owner declaration at the bottom of page 2.

4.Your equine vet visits to perform a detailed and thorough identification from the horse itself, so that BAPSH Ltd can confirm the horse’s identity. This detailed identification may be used to update the existing passport, or to create your horse’s new Re-Issue Registered Status Passport if this is also applied for (Recommended by BAPSH Ltd).

5a. Your Vet’s first action must be to scan the horse’s neck with thoroughness to detect if there is a Microchip in place. (If your horse has a modern passport it must have had a microchip inserted when it was passported but sometimes these become inactive.) If a microchip is located then this number is written on to the ID page of our application form. If your horse does NOT have an active microchip, your vet must provide and insert a microchip into the left side mid-third of the neck, just below the crest. The Microchip sticker must be put on the Application form and the spare Microchip stickers enclosed with the Registration Application form on its return to the Registry Office.

5b. Then your vet must carefully draw ALL the Whorls, Scars, and White Markings onto the Identity Diagram and also mark the location of the Microchip. The vet then completes the written section on page 2 of the Application form – clearly PRINTING his own name and practice address, plus date and signature, and endorses it with the Vet Practice Stamp.

6.Download the Re-Issue Passport Application Form 2019 Passport Cancel ID-Only Passport & Re-Issue Registered Breed Passport Application Form
IF :-
i.) YOUR HORSE HAS a Passport issued by the Junta de Andalucia – these Dark Green Passports do not meet UK Passport regulations because there is no English language description and no Identity Diagram, or one of the other Spanish Regional Government Equine ID-Only Passports that do not meet UK regulations (NB There are 15 Regional Governments in Spain which issue Equine Passports – some are legal in the UK and some are not)

ii.) To Upgrade your horse’s Status from ID-ONLY to Registered Status by applying to BAPSH Ltd for a Re-Issue Registered-Status Equine Passport.

BAPSH strongly recommends that ALL ID-Only Passports are cancelled and new Re-Issue Passports are applied for to upgrade horses to Registered Status Passports in order to avoid travel regulation problems on Horse transports carrying a mix of horses with Registered Status and ID-Only Status. Horses with ID-Only Status Passports may be removed from mixed loads at ports of departure from the UK.

7.Send by Special/Recorded Delivery to the Registrar the form/s, 4 photos, photocopies of any other documents that accompanied the horse when imported, the Passport, and a Cheque/Postal Order payable to BAPSH Ltd for:-
a) £53.00 for horses with a valid Passport. Includes ‘Signed For’ Delivery P&P to you
b) £78.00 for horses that need a NEW Re-Issue Passport. Includes ‘Signed For’ Delivery P&P to you.
