Register/Change Ownership
Here you can register your pet or initiate a change of ownership.

Please provide all of the following details.

Chip number must have 15 digits.
 

This microchip is already registered in a database. Please provide the details from the previous cert.

Your chip number is not already registered in Ireland.

For imported pets, as proof of ownership and compliance with the Department of Agriculture, please upload the following:

Valid Pet Passport (including parts 1, 2, 3 and 4) or

Signed Health Certificate (including relevant pages of both owner, pet and chip details)

Alternatively, or for non-imported pets, we need to add the name of an Irish vet to the Certificate as having read the chip and confirmed the details of both the pet and you as the owner (no need for the Vet to register again with another database).

If you are not known to the vet, you should bring ID and proof of address with you. If you've already had a recent visit to your vet or they know you and your pet, then they should have your details on file so a visit and re-scan would not be necessary.

*Please ask your Veterinary practice to scan the chip and email us directly with the below details:

  • Chip no:
  • Pet Owner's name:
  • Vet name who read and confirmed dog:
  • Vet UIN:
  • Date Vet scanned the chip:
  • Pet passport chip number corresponds with chip in pet: Yes/No/n/a

Registration advice

How much does it cost to register my pet?

Registration costs €10.

Animark microchip not registered

It may be that the implanting vet did not register the pet yet – please contact the vet who microchipped your pet (or ask the previous owner to) and ask them to complete the registration. This would be unusual as most vets update the system the same day as the pet is microchipped but sometimes a chip might get overlooked in error.

Non-Animark microchip / Imported pet not yet registered

You can still register with Animark and depending on the circumstances we will ask you to (1) supply a valid EU Pet Passport / signed EU Health Certificate or (2) to register your chip against a local Irish vet as having read the chip and confirmed the details of both the pet and you as the owner (no need for the Vet to register again).

For No.2, we would require your Veterinary practice to scan the chip and email us directly with the below details:

  • Chip no:
  • Pet Owner's name:
  • Vet name who read and confirmed the dog:
  • Vet Unique Identifying Number
  • Date Vet scanned the chip:
  • Pet passport chip number corresponds with chip in pet: Yes/No/NA
