Make an appointment to have your pet vaccinated against rabies. This is a lengthy process and may be uncomfortable for your pet.
Have your pet undergo a blood test. The results will then be processed to determine if it is eligible for a passport.
Wait the allotted amount of time to receive your pet passport. If your pet has completed the blood test with positive results, there may still be a need for lab testing. This will cause a delay in processing. If your pet has poor blood results, it will be denied a passport.
You should receive your passport in as little as six weeks or up to three months. Processing times vary among countries. Although this is a lengthy and pricey process, it will ensure the safe passage of your pet.
