TCR download covering certificates

If you are the TCR-registered owner of a TCR-registered stallion, you can download TCR covering certificates for your stallion FOR FREE.

Take the following steps to download a blank TCR covering certificate for your stallion:

• You will need to ‘sign in’ to your TCR account to open your Dashboard.
• Click on Your Registrations. If you have many animals registered with TCR, you can search for your stallion by entering its TCR-registered name or TCR registration number in the search bar.
• Under your stallion's TCR registration images, you will see some tabs. Click the Coverings tab, then click the green Download Covering Certificate bar to open a blank covering certificate for your stallion.
• Complete the covering certificate and submit it.

TCR digital covering certificates

When you submit your stallion's completed downloaded covering certificate, it will automatically generate a TCR digital covering certificate for your stallion, which you can share with the mare owner (or anyone else). You will also be able to print your stallion's TCR digital covering certificate.

​After the foal is born​

When the online TCR registration application is being completed for the foal, and the sire and dam (the stallion and mare named on the TCR digital covering certificate) are declared on the application, a message will be automatically displayed on the application saying that a TCR digital covering certificate has been generated, which is sufficient pedigree verification.​

Optional DNA pedigree verification​

In addition to a message automatically displayed on the application saying that a TCR digital covering certificate has been generated, which is sufficient pedigree verification, the application will also provide an option to upload an image of a DNA parentage verification certificate as your preferred pedigree verification.​

Other Registries' Covering Certificates

 If a TCR digital covering certificate was not generated for the foal, the application will also provide an option to upload another registry's covering certificate.​
