Pet Export Document From the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA)

The Pet Export Document is a health certificate you need when moving a pet internationally. It is issued by the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) in the UK and must be signed by a vet or another animal health professional.

The document verifies that your pet meets the health and safety standards required for entry into another country. 

Whether you’re relocating with your furry friend or engaging in international pet trade, a properly notarised Pet Export Document is often a legal requirement.

You likely may need an apostille for the document, depending on the requirements of your destination country. At Notary.co.uk, we can respond to your specific needs and ensure the certificate will be legally recognised.
