I have just bought an Irish Sports Horse.
And I need to change the passport details over to my name. ( It is a green passport with irish horse register written on the front
Im sorry for being a bit dull but I have never done this before.
Do I need to pay to change details over and is it right that I have to send off the passport.?
 
Does it have a change of ownership form in it at all, silly question i know!

If not can you google the passport agency and see if they have a website, with my horses passport I had to pay and send it off but the charges vary depending on the agency

If it is registered with the Northern Ireland Horse Board, here is an email I got from them a couple of years ago that may help (prices may have changed since then so best to ring them to check):

Thanks for your email.

The following should answer your query.

To meet with new legislation you horse needs a passport which includes:-
1) section 9 Medicinal Treatment record to be found in IHR passports following page 30 and before Breeding History. (NOT the Medication Control pages)
2) your name listed on page 8 as the registered owner and overstamped by the IHR
3)An adult passport requires the horse to be officially named at the top of page 15.

Some Other Answers

To change ownership on your passport if your horse has been named officially on page 15 (at the top of the page) please return it to me along with details of your name, address, postcode and phone number & 5 pounds sterling change of owner fee and we will amend ownership and also bring it up to date for EC standard if required.

To change address:- if the passport is already in your name and you have moved house just send in the passport for change of address and we will do this free of charge.

If your horse is not named and has a blue or green IHR passport:

Please return it to me along with your details:- name, address, postcode, contact telephone number, & include a list of 4 choices of names and the fee is 40 pounds sterling(stg) . (If you have more than one passport to do I would recommend taking out membership which is 25 stg (pounds sterling) plus 15 stg to name an existing passport. The total cost for first passport is still 40stg (pounds sterling)but further passports will be at members rates. Application for passports without pedigree are 25 stg (pounds sterling)members, 50stg non members) I would suggest you keep a photo copy of the centre page, until your passport is returned. We should have your passport back to you in a few days, depending on the post.

We will name the horse, amend ownership and bring the passport up to date to meet the new EC standard if required.

If your identification document is a marking chart ,normally in a clear plastic sleeve, please let me know your postal address and I will send you a new marking chart which you will need to get your vet to complete. You then need to return both the old marking chart and the new marking chart to me and we will issue a new passport. This takes 2-3 weeks. Please keep a photo copy of the old and new marking charts for your own records until your passport is returned.
