Obtaining & Completing a New FEI Passport - Fee $348.00 (includes Horse License Sticker, tax and standard shipping).

If the above is in order, the following are steps for obtaining and completing an FEI passport:

To obtain a new FEI passport, the owner must be a current Equine Canada Sport License holder, a Canadian Citizen and the horse must not hold any other passport than an Equine Canada passport. If the horse has a National passport or breed book from another country, please see “Directions for a Recognition Card below” or call the FEI passport department to see if it might applicable.

Step 1

• Complete the FEI passport application form and mail or fax the form with payment (Cheque, Visa or MasterCard) to Equine Canada

Step 2

• You will then receive a blank FEI passport along with instructions for completion. The passport will require three areas to be completed before Equine Canada can validate it:
• Owner will need to sign the ownership area located on pg 10 or 11 in the top right hand box beside their information sticker (see diagram below). Note: A horse purchased by more than one owner or a company, only requires one signature.

• The Vet will need to complete the ID page, including Narrative and Diagram
• The vet will be required to record the Primary Vaccinations* in the appropriate pages marked “Vaccination Record: Equine Influenza Only”
• * Primary Vaccinations: Two Equine Influenza vaccinations given within a range of 21 to 92 days apart. Both must also be given by the same route of administration (i.e. both must be given intramuscular or both must be given intranasal) and both must be recorded properly before the passport can be validated.

Step 3

• Once the above areas are complete, the passport will need to be sent to Equine Canada for validation. If the horse holds an Equine Canada passport, it is also required to be sent into Equine Canada at this time for cancellation. You will receive the cancelled Equine Canada passport back with the validated FEI passport.

Obtaining & Completing a Recognition Card - Fee $348.00 (includes Horse License Sticker, tax and standard shipping)

A Recognition Card is an addition cover and insert that can be added to an FEI Approved National Passport to upgrade the passport to an FEI passport.

Obtaining a Duplicate FEI Passport - Fee $315.00 (includes tax and standard shipping)

Revalidating an Expired FEI Passport - Fee $315.00 (includes tax and standard shipping)

Each FEI passport will expire 4 years after the initial application date, less a day, and will require revalidation to renew for another 4 years. The expiration date will be clearly marked in the passport and can be found in different areas depending on the passport:

In a burgundy covered passport, you will find the expiration date on the very first page of the passport at the bottom. In a purple covered passport, the date will be listed on the front sticker with the horse’s name. In a burgundy covered recognition card, the date will be on the back of the first white part of the passport. And in a purple covered recognition card, the expiration date will be located on the front sticker with the horse’s name.

To revalidate the passport, the physical passport must be sent to Equine Canada with the revalidation fee of $315.00. The passport will then receive a revalidation sticker and a new expiration date listed 4 years after the revalidation is processed or 4 years after the expiration date (which ever is the later date).

Note: The passport must be current and up to date with ownership information and Equine Influenza vaccinations before a revalidation can occur (see Equine Influenza requirements for a FEI passport).
