As the use of electronic documents by veterinarians and owners is increasing, the Division of Animal Industry is accepting electronic documents as a matter of convenience for industry. The electronic document must be an officially approved document by the State Animal Health Official in the animal’s state of origin. It is the responsibility of the hauler to present the required movement document(s) to the Department Representative. Failure to access the document from virtual location is equal to not having a document. Electronic documents must be presented in original PDF form. Pictures, jpeg or other format types of an electronic document are not accepted. Color prints of the original electronic document are accepted as an original document. Signatures on PDF images may not appear on an iPhone. It is the responsibility of the hauler to present the electronic image in its original form with all fields displaying properly, including but not limited to document signatures. The application PDF Viewer may help those using an iPhone. Electronic documents must contain all the information required to meet Florida’s movement and entry requirements. Requirements of the digital device display Screen size must measure at least 3.5 inches diagonally. Electronic document must be presented on a digital devise that clearly displays the document. Screen defect such as cracks, scratches, bubbles, water damage or LCD malfunction may make the document unusable at the discretion of the Department Representative. ACCEPTANCE PROCEDURE AT INTERDICTION STATION The document should be presented on the hauler’s digital device to an Agriculture Law Enforcement Officer. The officer will ensure the electronic document(s) presented accurately represent the animals in transport. If all documents presented qualify the animal(s) as meeting all movement requirements, the officer should record any pertinent information and scan documents into the CITS system or enter pertinent information in the notes section. Information to be collected if available, should include, ▪ The Date, ▪ Owners name (last name, first name), ▪ Document provider (GVL, VSPS or other approved electronic provider), ▪ Applicable document control number, if available, including: Page 28 of 133 o OCVI certificate number (if applicable), o Permit number (if applicable), o EIA Accession Number(s) or EIA document number o Passport/Equine Event Extension number, If a violation occurs, the OALE Officer should follow the Ag Law Manual on the course of action to pursue. If fraudulent documents are suspected, the officer should attempt to obtain a copy of the document via email, text or SMS message. If unable to obtain a copy, record date, time, owners name, contact number, email address (if available), document provider (GVL, mCVI, ICVI, VSPS), OCVI certificate number (if applicable), Permit number (if applicable), EIA Accession Number(s) on refuse entry form and refuse entry. Electronic OCVI and EIA Document Examples The USDA and private companies have electronic versions of the livestock OCVI and EIA Test Charts. More veterinarians are beginning to use these documents so an example of each is being provided below. Please note that the electronic version of the Coggins Test form (Form VS 10-11) will have the wording, “Part 1-Veterinarian/Submitter” at the bottom. There is no “owner-copy” of this electronic form.

The original (or carbon copy of the original) or electronic document presented as original pdf are the preferred documents for determining the eligibility of animals for entry into the state. However in some cases, beyond the control of the driver/owner, it is virtually impossible to present the “original/carbon copy“. In such cases a faxed or reproduced copy of the “original/carbon copy” may be acceptable. When such instances occur, the following guidelines will be used to determine acceptance of a faxed or reproduced copy of an OCVI in lieu of an “original/carbon copy”. Guidelines: Advise driver/owner that faxed or reproduced copies are often subject to be questioned and verification of documents could result in delays in shipment. Accept faxed or reproduced copies if there appears to be no evidence that the document has been altered and that the copy presented for review is complete, accurate and legible. Do not accept faxed or reproduced copies of blank forms which has entries filled in or which horses or other information has been added. Do not accept faxed or reproduced copies which have clearly been altered or which are not complete, accurate and legible. If verification of authenticity of faxed or reproduced copies is needed: ► Contact DAI during normal work hours (850/410-0900) to verify the document with the originating veterinarian. ► During off hours, the OALE officer on duty may call the originating veterinarian to verify the document. ► Document verification should be accomplished by having the originating veterinarian fax a copy of the original to DAI or the OALE station for comparison with the presented faxed or reproduced copy.
