The British Cattle Movement Service (BCMS) has announced that cattle passport amendments can now be posted once again.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, BCSM requested for cattle keepers to send passport amendments via email to reduce the need to travel.
If possible and restrictions allow, BCMS are now asking for keepers to return to the original posting process:
Write on the passport what information needs to be amended
- If the amendment is to the date of birth, or requires 3 or more amendments, please also send a copy of your calving records
- Post the original passport to:
British Cattle Movement Service, Curwen Road, Workington, CA14 2DD - It is also advised to ask for proof of postage
Please check the passport applications before posting to avoid further amendments later.
BCMS are still accepting amendments by email if posting is not possible.
In receipt of the passport(s), BCMS will make the necessary amendment(s) and return the updated passport(s) via post and will contact you if any further information is required.
If you have further questions, please email BCMS on
Cattle Tracing System Online (CTSO) is also a free online service available on the BCMS website which can be used to report births, movements and deaths. Please contact BCMS via the above streams to arrange access.
