What is a Virtual Domestic Travel Certificate?

A virtual domestic travel certificate is an online way to get health documentation for your pet when traveling within the U.S. or Canada. It's an easy process that saves you a lot of time and hassle. You don't need to visit the clinic. We just check your pet's vaccinations are up to date so you can get a compliant certificate from anywhere.

What to Expect with a Virtual Domestic Travel Certificate

After you ask for your virtual certificate and send us your pet's information through our secure online form, we'll do a quick review of their medical history and vaccination records. Once we make sure they meet all state and airline health requirements, we will make an official certificate and email it right away for you to print. The certificate is good for domestic air travel within the U.S. and Canada, as well as ground transport across state lines. We're available by phone if you have any questions!

How a Virtual Domestic Travel Certificate Benefits You and Your Pet

Avoiding an unnecessary clinic visit saves you stress and hassle when getting ready for pet travel. You'll know that your pet meets health requirements in advance, so you can focus on other parts of your trip. Virtual certificates also prevent cutting it too close to departure and risk compliance.

Easy access lets you update certificates as needed for multi-stop trips. Most importantly, virtual certificates help get your pet to their place safely and smoothly. Get easy domestic travel clearance for your pet instantly online through our online documentation services at Vets ASAP.

Frequently Asked Questions

There are two main requirements that must be met for us to issue a pet health certificate for domestic U.S. or Canadian travel online instead of needing an in-clinic visit. First, we must have a current vet-client-pet relationship, including recent vet exam records. Second, your pet’s vaccinations and tests must be up to date based on the place's regulations, usually within the past 12 months. Your pet’s medical history and vaccine compliance will be checked before issuing the certificate online.

Our domestic virtual pet travel certificate templates confirm your pet is up to date on rabies vaccination, DA2PP core vaccines for dogs, FVRCP core vaccines for cats, and a vet wellness exam within the past year, as most places require. It will also include your pet's identifying information, signature, and license verification from the vet here at our clinic, as well as a QR code linking to verified records.

Sorry, virtual health certificates are not allowed for pets traveling internationally or being imported/exported across borders per federal requirements. A face-to-face exam by a licensed vet is required for us to complete all International Health Certificate documentation. However, we are always happy to schedule international travel certification appointments at your convenience.

Our standard virtual certificate fee depends on certificate type, payable when you ask for it.
