The FEI acknowledges that it is not required, by law, for horses to have national passports in some National Federations.

From 1 January 2017, horses that are registered for the first time on the FEI Database with a FEI registration number only, must have an approved national passport or indentification document.

In order to help National Federations who do not have national passports, the FEI has created a template.

The template has been designed to:

-      be used by all National Federations that do not currently have national equine passports

-      meet the requirements for the registration of horses for the first time with the FEI

-      be used in conjunction with FEI Recognition Cards. (What is a FEI Recognition Card?)

The template consists of mandatory sections and optional sections. The template also allows you to insert a translation from English to two other languages.
