Export Certificate
(certification for foreign countries)
When do I need an export certificate (certification for foreign countries)?
The export certificate is a certificate issued by the VDH that is is required if a dog is sold abroad and is to be registered with a foreign kennel club.
It is not issued for dog sports or shows abroad (e.g. Crufts).
Do I need an export certificate for every country?
Yes, an export certificate is needed for every country.
Which documents have to be submitted?
The following necessary documents have to be submitted:
- the dog’s original pedigree
- the address of the new owner
- the date of purchase
Is it sufficient to supply a certified copy of the dog’s pedigree certificate?
No, a certified copy of the dog's pedigree will not be accepted. The original pedigree certificate has to be submitted, because the export certificate has to be fixed on the original pedigree of the dog.
How much is the fee?
The fees for the application of the export certificate are as follows:
- the breeder of the dog: 50,00 EUR
- for the new owner and reseller and all other persons: 70,00 EUR
