Brexit:UK pets will need certificate to enter EU

Wednesday, December 16, 2020

British pet owners will need a new document to enter the European Union with their animals after the Brexit transition period ends on 1 January next year, the government said on Wednesday.




British pets required only a passport while their country was part of the EU. Only vets officially allowed to inspect animals for export can issue the certificates. 

The same rule will apply for taking animals from England, Scotland and Wales to Northern Ireland. But the UK government said its approach to enforcing the rule in Northern Ireland would recognise "these changes will take time to adjust to", without specifying whether there would be a grace period.
