  • check the status of your licence application
  • add further information in support of your application

    • We recommend preparing the following information before you start:

  • the licensee’s address and contact details
  • the address the animals would be moved from and to
  • designated premises approval number (if you have one)
  • animal identification marks if available (such as rings and tags)
  • stock vehicle and driver details if available

    • If you do not have this information, the following links may be helpful:

    If you’re moving day old chicks or live birds, the premises you want to move poultry to must have a valid biosecurity report before the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) can grant the licence.

    The person responsible for the movement or activity must apply for the licence. This might not be the person who will use the licence. For example, the driver of a stock vehicle may use the licence but the applicant will be responsible for compliance with the licence conditions.

    In the case of feed, fuel, hatching eggs or slaughter poultry, it is the feed company, fuel company, hatchery or slaughterhouse that must apply.

    You must apply for your licence with at least 5 working days’ notice. Any movement or activity should not take place until you receive your licence.

    If there are exceptional circumstances and you need the licence sooner than 5 days, contact APHA by calling 03000 200 301, or email [email protected].

    You may not need to apply for a specific licence if your movement or activity is covered by a bird flu general licence.

    We reserve the right to review and revoke a licence if areas or premises restrictions apply.
