The official platform for the European Standard for Travel with Canine Animals. Trainers issue certificates here. Owners claim and verify their pass here. Airlines check the registry against any ESTCA number.
How it works
Airlines require a verified certificate showing your dog is suited to travel in the cabin. Every accredited provider delivers the programme under the same framework — no hidden fees, no unclear criteria. Reach out to one of our accredited trainers to start the process.
Your dog is assessed across five behavioural areas by a trainer accredited under ESTCA. Progress is logged and reviewed against the standard.
Once all five areas are completed — including video evidence reviewed under quality assurance — your trainer issues an ESTCA certification number. The registry receives it within minutes.
For dog owners
Once your trainer issues your dog's certificate, you receive a link by email. Claim it once; download the digital pass any time over the two-year validity.
