The selected practice receives the structured case, evidence checklist, declarations and prepared certificate data.

The movement is non-commercial and is not for sale or transfer of ownership. I confirm that the information supplied is accurate to the best of my knowledge. I authorise VetAHC to send this case and uploaded evidence to my selected veterinary practice. I understand that VetAHC does not read or verify the contents of my evidence. Only the assigned Official Veterinarian compares my entries with the records and decides whether an AHC can be issued.
