GAV document verification
Enter a certificate number to check that it exists and see basic details about the team. For extended verification, use an official request by email.
Public search shows a limited set of information: status, the dog's name and breed, the program, date of issue, training hours and the last digits of the microchip. The phone and the full microchip number are not shown under any circumstances.
How to use verification
The certificate number is stated in the GAV document in the format SAYGAV-YYYY-NUMBER. Enter it in full, including the hyphens.
If an entry is found, you will see basic information about the team and can request more details about the training plan by email.
Need extended verification for an organization?
For airlines, employers, government and medical organizations — an official request stating the document identifier:
- State the document identifier.
- State the name of the organization or specialist on whose behalf the request is made.
- Briefly state the reason for the verification.
- Do not send medical documents or unnecessary personal data.
The response may confirm the status of the entry and that the identifier matches GAV's data, within the information the organization may disclose. A response time is not guaranteed.
Report a suspicious document
If the information in a document raises doubts, the document contains a different domain or the QR code leads to an outside resource, report it to GAV.
