What is the purpose of a microchip certificate? | I need documentation to travel with my pet

A microchip certificate is an official document that confirms your pet's microchip registration. It includes your pet's unique microchip number, their details, and your contact information — and serves as proof of ownership.

Why it matters for travel

When travelling with your pet, the microchip certificate is the document that links your pet's vaccinations and health tests to their microchip number. Authorities use it to confirm that all records correspond to the correct animal and that your pet is cleared to travel.

Before travelling abroad, have all your pet's documentation reviewed by a licensed veterinarian — requirements vary by country and your vet can confirm what is needed for your specific destination.

Why it matters for identification

If your pet is ever lost, the microchip certificate helps prove ownership and ensures your contact information can be traced back to your pet's chip number.
