For farmers & keepers
Manage your herd from a phone — no app to buy
You do not need to buy software to take part. Register animals, move them with a permit and request certificates directly from a phone — and if you use a vendor app, it works on the same record underneath.
One national ID for life
Every animal gets a national ID that is allocated once and never reissued — even if it changes hands, is merged, or its physical tag is replaced. The tag can be lost; the identity cannot. That is what stops stolen stock being laundered through retagging.
- Tags are the handle, the ID is the identity — visual or electronic (RFID).
- Find-or-create — two people tagging the same beast converge on the same national ID, not two.
- Retag is an authority event — a replacement tag links to the existing animal; the old one is retired.
Register, move and certify
- Register an animal — it receives its national ID for life.
- Lodge a movement — where the animals are going, and which animals; the registry checks it against the veterinary zones and issues a permit reference.
- Request a certificate — the competent authority inspects, attests and signs it.
Step-by-step is in the register-and-move guide.
Verify, free and instantly
Every certificate carries a QR code. A buyer, an abattoir or a border officer scans it and the answer comes straight from the registry — free, with no login, not dependent on whatever app produced the document. See how verification works.
Yours, with or without a vendor
- One keeper identity, reused across the whole platform.
- Switch vendors freely — your animals and certificates move with you, and your national IDs never change.
- Sign in with a one-time code and see only your own animals.
Whether you come through a vendor app or sign in directly, there is one keeper record and one authoritative ID per animal. Moving between vendors never creates a duplicate.
