Allow at least 10 days for your licence application to be processed where possible. Complex and high-risk movements will need extra time to process.

We recommend preparing the following information before you start:

• the licensee’s address and contact details
• the address the animals would be moved from and to
• county parish holding (CPH) numbers
• designated premises approval number (if you have one)
• animal identification marks if available (such as ear tags, freeze brands, slap marks and tattoos)
• stock vehicle and driver details if available
• a declaration for the animals moving under this licence that are exempt from testing
