What document does the VCO issue for the state or country the MWD will reside in?

• A. Travel permit
• B. Vaccination record
• C. Import license
• D. Health certificate

Answer: (D)

The main idea is that the VCO provides an official health status document for the dog to reside in another state or country. A health certificate is issued after a veterinary exam to certify the animal is free of contagious diseases and fit for travel and residency. This certificate is the standard proof required by other jurisdictions when a MWD moves, often alongside vaccination records, to ensure the animal meets health and import standards.

Travel permits authorize movement but don’t certify health. Vaccination records show vaccines given but don’t attest current health. An import license is for bringing a animal into a country and isn’t the general residency health clearance.
