DESCRIPTION
Leisure Horse Ireland prides itself in consistently providing an excellent, efficient and cost-effective service to its owners and breeders.
The registered name of your equine may be changed if it does not have a registered prefix name. If it has a registered prefix name, written permission from the prefix owner is required. Names also need to be unique, check an equines name and preferred name availability with us by email beforehand. The relevant page(s) will be amended on the passport, the change noted and the original amended passport will be returned to you.
UK Residents:
Regrettably these days sending anything between UK and EU is not straight forward as there are now customs considerations. The reality is a Horse Passport in itself has no value, only to the equine it is associated with and the equine owner. Therefore, when sending the item you will need to complete a customs declaration (The CN 22 label is supplied by your post office or courier).
Ensure the customs declaration is completed as follows, otherwise the item will be delayed and rejected by customs and eventually returned to you:
• Tick that the package contains “DOCUMENTS”
• With the description “EQUINE IDENTIFICATION DOCUMENTS ONLY – NO COMMERCIAL VALUE”
• State that is has “ZERO” value and
• A customs TARIC code of 4911990000
It is also advisable to send it to us by registered post.
When you get the passport back, you must also have the passport over stamped by a UK agency of your choosing to have the details uploaded to the UK Central Equine Database (CED).

Other Considerations:
Ensure you are submitting the declaration and passport to the correct
agency.

back – updated).

cleared payment.
Return Delivery:
*Standard post return (Ireland only) is included in registration fees;
however, risk of loss is entirely borne by the applicant unless recorded
return delivery is requested and paid for by the applicant. We currently

Return by recorded delivery is compulsory for destinations outside of Ireland.
Prefix Names:
If the existing registered name of the animal is a registered prefix, in order
to change the name, you must seek permission from the prefix owner in
writing and this permission must be submitted to LHI.
