Change of ownership in passport

[soph15]

I’ve just purchased my new horse and now need to register myself as the new owner.

Does anybody know how long it typically takes for the passport to be sent and returned (IDHS)

Just wondering as I have a hunter trial on the 22nd of September and will need his passport for vaccine proof and needed to know if the passport will be back by then

Many thanks 😊

It took a week for me to get my passport back but I live in Ireland so I don’t now how long would it take to get it back in the uk

I would say you should be fine but I would call them before you send and ask them

Is there a way to fast track it? There is with Weatherbys, might be worth asking them, as well as what their standard turnaround time is. I'd say you would be cutting it very fine with only 3 weeks. Can you not send it off after the hunter trial?

Please make sure you send it recorded delivery, I put a stamped addressed envelope in for them to send it back. I think this all helps speed things up.

Also take a photocopy of it before sending, just in case.

Can you phone and ask?

Explain the situation to the HT organisers and ask if a photocopy would be ok if it hasn't come back. The chances are you'll have it back in plenty of time but that will give you peace of mind if nothing else.

Thank you for your help everyone😊

I’ll try and ring them and see if they can fast track it. Hopefully a photocopy will work otherwise
