In short

Limited official guidance. The authority for leaving Morocco publishes little for this route. Everything it does say is here, with its wording. Morocco's food safety office (ONSSA) publishes the health certificate model agreed with each destination, as scanned documents, and its fee list, but no guide for pet owners: it doesn't say how far ahead to apply, what to bring or how long it takes. It asks you to contact the veterinary service where you live. Do that well before you travel, and follow your destination's rules for the vaccinations and tests.

At a glance

The rules on this route are the same for dogs and cats.

How early to start

about 4 months

if your pet has no microchip or rabies vaccination yet

Set by: Unlisted countries: rabies antibody test, 3 months before (at least 3 months before the movement)

about 3 months

if it is already microchipped and vaccinated

Set by: Unlisted countries: rabies antibody test, 3 months before (at least 3 months before the movement)

The least time the official waiting periods allow. Vet, lab and paperwork appointments come on top.

What your pet needs

In the order you do them. Each step says whether Morocco (leaving) or Serbia (entering) asks for it.

Taking a dog or cat out of Morocco (ONSSA): we summarised this from a short or older official page and it is still under review, so it may be incomplete.

  1. Get ready

    1. IdentificationEntering Serbia

      Microchip, before the rabies vaccination

      Your pet must be permanently identified with a microchip (or a clearly readable tattoo applied before 3 July 2011). The identification must come before any rabies vaccination (and any antibody test).

      Details and the official words

      “1) животиње треба да буду трајно обележене -микрочип;”

      “тетовираном пре 3. јула 2011. године, а то означавање мора претходити свакој вакцинацији”

    2. VaccinationEntering Serbia

      Rabies vaccination at 12 weeks or older, 21 days before entry

      Your pet must be vaccinated against rabies with an inactivated vaccine (at least one antigenic unit per dose, WHO standard) or a recombinant vaccine, given at 12 weeks of age or older. After a first vaccination, wait 21 days before entering Serbia. A booster given after the previous vaccination expired counts as a first vaccination.

      Details and the official words

      “2) да су кућни љубимци вакцинисани против беснила са најмање једном антигенском јединицом по дози (препорука Светске здравствене организације); или рекомбинована вакцина која изражава имунизујући гликопротеин вируса беснила у живом вирусном вектору и да је протекао 21 дан од дана вакцинације, у случају прве вакцинације против беснила;”

      “Период ваљаности вакцинације почиње успостављањем заштитног имунитета, које није краћи од 21 дан од примарне вакцинације”

      “were at least 12 weeks old at the time of vaccination against rabies”

      “Any revaccination must be considered a primary vaccination if it was not carried out within the period of validity of a previous vaccination.”

    3. Blood testEntering Serbia

      Unlisted countries: rabies antibody test, 3 months before

      Because your pet comes from a country on neither of Serbia's lists, an authorised vet takes a blood sample at least 30 days after the rabies vaccination for an antibody test at an EU-approved laboratory (at least 0.5 IU/ml). The sample must be taken at least 3 months before the certificate is issued and your pet travels. The test needn't be repeated if later boosters were given on time.

      Details and the official words

      “4) да је кућни љубимац био подвргнут тестирању серума крви на висину титра специфичних неутрализирајућих антитела против вируса беснила, и то са граничним титром од најмање 0,5 IU/ml у лабораторији која је овлашћена од стране Европске уније, најмање 30 дана после вакцинације и три месеца пре изношења, с тим што се тестирање серума крви не мора понављати за животиње које су после претходне титрације биле редовно ревакцинисане у интервалима одређеним у упутству произвођача вакцине;”

      “Тест титрације антитела против беснила мора се обавити на узорку узетом барем 30 дана након датума вакцинације и најмање три месеца пре датума некомерцијалног кретања.”

      “at least 3 months prior to the date of issue of this certificate, proved an antibody titre equal to or greater than 0,5 lU/ml”

  2. In the days before you travel

    1. PaperworkMorocco and Serbia

      Serbian model health certificate, valid 10 days

      Your pet travels with Serbia's model animal health certificate for non-commercial movement (Annex 7), issued by an authorised vet and endorsed by the competent authority of the country it comes from. It is valid for 10 days from issue until the document and identity check at the border (longer by the length of a sea crossing). Attach certified copies of the identification and vaccination details and, if a test was needed, of the laboratory report.

      Details and the official words

      ONSSA export health certificate (150 dirhams): An ONSSA official vet issues your pet's health certificate on the model agreed with your destination (ONSSA lists them by destination country). Ask the veterinary service where you live how and when to apply. The fee for a veterinary health certificate for exporting live animals is 150 dirhams per certificate.

      “4) да животињу прати сертификат издат од стране надлежног органа земље из које долази;”

      “да су праћени исправно попуњеним обрасцем уверења (сертификат) из члана 15. став 1. тачка 1) овог правилника, који је издат од стране овлашћеног ветеринара и оверен од надлежног органа одређене земље”

      “This certificate is valid for 10 days from the date of issue by the official veterinarian until the date of the documentary and identity checks at the designated”

      “A certified copy of the identification and vaccination details of the animals concerned shall be attached to the certificate.”

      “Contrôle à l’exportation des animaux de compagnie (Chiens, Chats et Furets)”

      “Certificat sanitaire vétérinaire à l’exportation des animaux vivants et des produits de multiplication animale”

      “(à l'exception des chevaux)”

      “Je soussigné, vétérinaire officiel certifie que les animaux désignés ci-dessus et examinés ce jour”

      “Ont été examinés au cours des 48 dernières heures, ont été trouvés en bon état de santé et n’ont présenté aucun signe clinique de maladies contagieuses propres à l’espèce”

      “Ont été correctement vaccinés contre la rage par un vaccin inactivé (ci-joint l’attestation de vaccination contre la rage)”

Good to know

  • For any question about taking your pet abroad, ONSSA asks you to contact its veterinary service where you live; the export page links a list of these services with their addresses and phone numbers. ONSSA publishes no lead time, so ask them early.
