Details

This is a detailed list of plants, seeds and wood that need a UK plant passport for movement within Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales), the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man.

If you move all plants or some regulated wood, you need to be registered and authorised to issue plant passports. You must register either with the Animal and Plant Health Agency or Forestry Commission, not both.
