Pet identification in the Union Territory

The pets shall be regarded as identified when they bear either a clearly readable tattoo applied before 3 July 2011, or an electronic identification system (transponder), performed by an authorized veterinarian.
The microchip must be placed before the rabies vaccine.
The alpha-numeric code read with a reading device, corresponds to the one documented.

Technical requirements for the identification
The standard electronic identification system shall be a read-only passive radio frequency identification device (‘transponder’), complying with ISO Standard 11784 and applying HDX or FDX-B technology and capable of being read by a reading device compatible with ISO Standard 11785.

If the transponder does not comply with the requirements, the owner or the natural person responsible for the pet animal on behalf of the owner, must provide the means necessary for reading the transponder at the time of any inspection.
