Who is registered with SIAC?

Transponder / microchip marking and consequently registration in the database can only be carried out by the veterinarian. The implantation of the transponder must be carried out in the center of the left side of the animal's neck, after verifying that the animal is not already marked by another identification device. After the registration of the pet animal in the SIAC, it is automatically issued by the DIAC system, which reproduces, in physical or digital media, the data contained in the SIAC, which constitutes the Document of Identification of the Pets subject to the registration obligation in that system.
