To start the transfer process, login to your account and click “Transfer Pet” on the navigation menu. Follow the prompts. Note that you must have the new owner’s email address to complete this process online.
Alternatively, please download and fill out the BC Pet Registry Transfer form. Both the previous owner and new owner must fill and sign this form in order for a transfer to be completed. Completed forms must be scanned and sent to: info@bcpetregistry.ca.
If the BC Pet Registry does not receive signatures from both parties, the new owner must provide at least one of the following documents as proof of ownership:
– Bill of sale from the previous owner to the new owner that includes the microchip number of the pet
– A letter from a licensed veterinarian (on their letterhead) indicating the microchip number and new owner of the pet
– Adoption agreement for the pet in the new owner’s name
– Previous owner’s death certificate obituary notice if the previous owner is deceased
– The BC Pet Registry should not be used to prove ownership.
