Authorities or bodies responsible for issuing documents

Breed societies and race organizations who are recognized by the Danish Veterinary and Food Authority, may issue (but not deliver) extended identification documents to horses born in Denmark.

Only SEGES Heste (SEGES Horses) can issue the standard identification documents to horses born in Denmark.

See the list of Danish breed societies and race organizations who are recognized by the Danish Veterinary and Food Authority (pdf)

Horses born in Denmark must be identified with a Danish transponder coded with the country code ‘208’ for Denmark as the first three digits.

Only delegated bodies may deliver the identification document to the owner of the equine. Breed societies and race organizations who are not delegated bodies must send the identification document to a delegated body, in order to complete the registration of the horse in the Danish national database.
