What happens next
You’ll usually get the passport within 14 days of applying.
If BCMS cannot trace the animal’s full movement history, they will not issue a replacement passport and you will not get a refund.
Instead, you’ll get a notice of registration (CPP35). This means the animal cannot leave the holding unless you have a movement licence. Find out more about the rules for cattle without passports.
