Corinne Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 We will be moving to Portugal in December (found out yesterday, nothing like big suprises) and need to get a Health certificate issued by a 'Competent Authority' from the animals country of origin for our dog.I know the address for the required authority in the UK so know that getting it from a vet is not going to be good enough. Does anyone know the authorities in France that issue this certificate?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teamedup Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Ask your vet, your vet may even be able to provide this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YCCMB Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Could it be the Minstere de l'Agriculture et de la Peche? (sorry for lack of accents). The normal certs issued pre-pet passports were from them.Jane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boiling a frog Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 A certificate of health is no longer required .This has been the case since last year when new rules were introduced You now need a european pet passport for movement of pets within the EU a valid rabies jab and the pet identified by microchip or tattoe http://europa.eu.int/comm/food/animal/liveanimals/pets/nocomm_intra_en.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
