Passport Services
Please follow the links below to the different passport services offered.
​
All Equines in the U.K. should be passported and microchipped - this is a legal requirement. Please see the relevant pages on our website, or get in touch with the Society and we will be able to help you register your pedigree Welsh Pony, Cob or Part-Bred (subject to eligibility and checks).
​
We can also register any equine of unknown or unverifiable breeding with our in-house EquiCymru passport service. This service is run under the auspices of the Welsh Pony and Cob Society and can provide an ID-only passport for any equine that is resident in the U.K. Please see the EquiCymru website HERE
The Society has a comprehensive document outlining all rules relating to passporting equines. All applicants should first familiarise themselves with these rules before submitting any application to the Society. The document is available under the Passport Services section of the 'Downloads' page on our website. By submitting a passport service application to the Society, you are agreeing to abide by these rules at all stages. Registration of equines is highly regulated in the U.K. and the Society must follow these strict guidelines imposed by the U.K. and Welsh Governments. It is a legal requirement for all equines in the U.K. to be microchipped and passported.
​
Providing the application is received correctly completed (in line with the Society's rules of registration), then the turnaround time is 15 working days. If an application is returned due to errors, this 15 working days turnaround will start again from the point of correct re-submission to the Society Office.

The Society strongly recommends that all applications/documents/passports are sent by Signed For, Tracked, or Special Delivery and that customers pay the Society the same for the return of the completed passport(s). Alternatively, customers may include a pre-paid, self-addressed envelope for the return of the completed passport(s).
By sending the application via recorded delivery, customers can track the package and ensure it has been delivered to the Society Office safely. Alternatively, customers can include a stamped addressed postcard which will be returned to confirm receipt of the package. The Society cannot answer calls asking whether a passport or application has been received; so please do not call. By sending the package via recorded delivery, receipt can be verified by inputting the tracking number to the Royal Mail Track & Trace website.
