Latest update
I have just returned from France, only a short trip without the dog, whilst there I visited our French vet who kindly handed over Henry's newly issued EU passport.
The VET explained that as Henry already had a now invalid UK passport that was issued before Jan 21, and a French address, I-CAD accepted our application.
The EU passport has all the relevant information completed along with his UK adminsitered rabies vaccination, valied until March 25, this includes the Vaccine brand, batch number, date of issue and where administered inc Royaume uni.
I will be driving back to France in just over 6 weeks with Henry and want to ensure that I wont have any issues either at the Tunnel going out or DFDS from Dieppe coming back. I have just read online that his EU passport must have proof of vaccination done in the EU, not UK, as a UK one will not be accepted.
Is this correct ?
(To be on the safe side I will get his rabies jab done as soon as I get to france, this will mean that 5 weeks later when I return, that one will be valid)
On a side note, his identification card from I-CAD has him down as a girl, I queried this with the Vet who checked on the I-CAD site which correctly states male, he said, its not a problem as his paspport matches the details on line, he gave me a copy of it.
Many thanks Ian & Henry
