The purpose of the Equine Transfer Request is to obtain an "Equine Ownership Certificate" card, that is equivalent to the ownership title of an equine, such as the title on a vehicle.

• Fill out the REQUIREMENTS portion of the Equine Registration Application*. (PDF)

• Seller: Must completely fill out the SELLER/TRANSFER portion of the Equine Transfer Registration Application*. (PDF) The owner(s) must sign and date. If there is more than one owner, each owner must sign. The owner(s) signature will be the only signature accepted, unless a notarized letter is presented stating that the agent has Power of Attorney authorizing the agent to sell equine on the owner(s) behalf. The Seller is also responsible to submit his/her Equine Ownership Certificate card and any duplicate cards to the Buyer.

• Buyer: Must completely fill out the BUYER/TRANSFER portion of the Equine Transfer Registration Application*. (PDF) If there is more than one owner, each new owner must sign. The PINK copy (or one copy if obtained over the Internet) goes to the Seller, the YELLOW copy (or one copy if obtained over the Internet) is for the buyer's records. Send the WHITE copy (or one copy if obtained over the Internet) of the Equine Registration Application with the Equine Ownership Certificate card (obtain from Seller) and the $10.00 fee to the Arizona Department of Agriculture. Upon receipt of the fee, the Registration Application and the old Equine Ownership Card (including duplicates),a new Equine Ownership Certificate card will be issued in the name of the buyer(s); the certificate will be good for the life of animal or until sold.
