Application for Transfer of Ownership
This form may be used for any of the Registries run by the American Donkey and Mule Society
The Miniature Donkey Registry, The American Donkey Registry, The American Mule Registry, The American Mule Racing Registry, The Zebra Hybrid & Bloodstock Registry. If you are double-registering an animal from any other registry, this is not the correct form. Call the office for additional instructions, or refer to the Registry Booklet.
Please make sure you read the following instructions carefully. If information is incorrect or incomplete, your transfer may be delayed. To Transfer Ownership of an ADMS registered animal, please send ALL of the following:
1. The Original Certificate of Registration (please keep a photocopy for yourself as things can get lost en route). Please do not fold certificates. (Please note that if an animal has NEVER been registered, this form is not needed UNLESS you are registering to owner #1 and transferring to Owner #2 at the SAME TIME.)
2. This completed Transfer Form.
3. Any additional Information and Photos for animal. (Such as updated height!) *SEE BELOW
4. CORRECT TRANSFER FEE
$7.00 Transfer fee if you wish to have the certificate reissued with the transfer information , ie your name in the owner field, and transfer information/previous owner listed in the TRANSFER FIELD. ) (for MATURE ANIMALS ONLY)
*****OR*****
$5.00 transfer fee. Transfer endorsed but certificate NOT REISSUED (A transfer endorsement sticker placed in the transfer field on the same certificate, which is the way the majority of Horse registries handle transfers) All Immature Transfers for ADMS are done this way only. (You may also do this on animals to be sold again right away) (If you send $7 for an immature, you will recieve a credit and the immature will be processed as an endorsement only. Please use the $5 option on immatures)
* If the animal was registered as immature and is now past its third birthday (4th for Mammoths, Mules and Zebra Hybrids) please take the time to update the animal at this point. There is no additional fee to update the papers at the same time you do the transfer!. What is needed is the height (from ground to withers, using a measuring stick, in increments of �") and recent photos of the mature animal (side views, one of each side showing any markings clearly). This will save extra trouble, time and fees.
