Regulation 5 Death, loss, theft or export of animal

On the death (howsoever caused), loss, theft, or export from Great Britain of an animal for which a national administrative document has been issued, the person holding the national administrative document relating to that animal shall, within three months of such death, loss, theft, or export, as the case may be, surrender that document to the appropriate Minister.

Where an animal which has been lost or stolen is restored to the person referred to in paragraph (1) above after its national administrative document has been surrendered to the appropriate Minister pursuant to that paragraph, that person may apply to the appropriate Minister for a duplicate of the national administrative document issued for that animal.

Following the receipt of such application together with such details relating to that animal and such proof as he may reasonably require regarding its loss or theft and subsequent restoration, the appropriate Minister shall issue to the person who made such application a duplicate national administrative document for that animal.
