If you move house do you change the address on your horse's passport?

As title, we have recently moved and are going to rent for a year or so. should I change the passport to this address and again when we move or shall I just leave it in my old address or change it to my parents address that won't be moving!? Help!!
 
I haven't changed my address on my weatherbys passport but when I registered my new horse they rang me and up-dated their database with my new address. Probably depends who your passport issuer is too.
 
I moved recently and checked with my horse's passport issuer (BAPSH). Apparently if you don't change the address within 14 days you're (strictly speaking) in default of UK equine law, though I doubt anyone checks! I didn't update my driving license for 2/3 years and no-one noticed...
 
I would def change the microchip address.

However when i change my passport address - it takes 3 weeks in the post and 20quid!!! - Of course during this time im not technically allowed to travel ect!!!

Depends how quick or cheap its going to be for you i imagine...
 
You are suppose to yes, but can work out expensive depending on how many horses you have and who your passport is issued by.

I have only just changed one of our's after nearly 5 years (and 3 moves in that time) wasnt too worried as still had connections with the old address, incase anything came through the post but at £10 a go would have cost me £30 instead of just £10 for the one change
