I-CAD Identification Portal: Who Qualifies and What You Get

The I-CAD Identification Portal is a digital tool used by veterinary professionals to manage animal identification data within the national database. It serves as the central system for recording electronic identification details for pets across France.

👤Who it's for

This portal is designed specifically for veterinary professionals. If you are a vet performing microchipping procedures on pets, you are required to use this system to ensure that every animal's electronic identification is officially recorded.

🎁What you get

By using this portal, you gain direct access to the national database for animal identification. This access allows you to officially register and update the information associated with an animal's microchip. This ensures that the animal's identity is securely held within the national system, making it possible to track and identify pets through their electronic identification.

💰What it costs you

Using the portal is not free. There are specific costs involved in maintaining your access and performing your duties. You will need to pay for your initial account registration to set up your professional profile. Additionally, there are per-chip reporting fees that must be paid every time you report the data for a new microchip.

⚠️The catch to know

The most important rule to remember is the strict timeline for data entry. You cannot wait to log the information; the data regarding the microchip must be uploaded to the system within 8 days of the procedure being performed. Failure to meet this specific window is a key detail to manage in your daily clinic workflow.

📝How to apply

1. Visit the official portal to begin your professional account registration.
2. Follow the registration steps to verify your status as a veterinarian.
3. Access the database to input the required identification details after a procedure.
4. Ensure all data is uploaded within the required 8-day window.
