FAQ

I would like to obtain an FEI passport, who should I contact?

Your national federation will issue an FEI passport for your horse. This passport will have to be filled in by a national federation approved veterinarian after which the federation will stamp and sign it. Some federations have approved national passports; in this case an FEI recognition card will be added to the national passport. (FEI General Regulations, Article 139). Remember that for EU national passports, a treatment logbook must be included, in which all medication used in the horse should be listed.

I’ve lost my horse’s passport, how can I obtain a new one?

You have to contact the national federation. They will issue you a duplicate of your passport keeping the original number. An FEI approved veterinarian will have to complete it and the national federation will stamp and sign the document. The federation will then forward us the information required. (Veterinary Regulations, Annex II pt V)
