You are not allowed to travel abroad with your pet freely. The reason is that there are odds that your pet may be infected with some kind of a contagious disease that will be dangerous in the country you want to travel to. In order to ensure safe travels and enable authorities to identify your animal, you have to obtain an animal passport. How many photos do you need for an animal passport? You will find the answer to this question and many others in the text below.
What information can be found in an animal passport?
First of all, an animal passport is an identification document. Thanks to it, authorities are able to match a pet with its owner. This is because it contains some vital data, such as:
- information about the owner
- number of a microchip and place where it was implanted by a veterinarian
- certificate for rabies vaccination.
Is a photo necessary for an animal passport?
Before answering the question: “How many photos do you need for an animal passport?”, let’s focus on the issue of whether it is even necessary. According to the law, it is optional, so you don’t have to attach it to the document.
However, for some reason, it may be a proper choice to add it anyway. For instance, a photo will:
- make the identification process of your pet much easier
- help you to find your pet because in a passport it has to be clear.
