Application for Transfer of Ownership
 
This form may be used for any of the Registries run by the American Donkey & Mule Society
The Miniature Donkey Registry, The American Donkey Registry, The American Mule Registry, The American Mule
Racing Registry, and 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:
 
The Original Certificate of Registration (please keep a copy in case it gets lost en route)
This completed Transfer Form
Any additional information and photos for the animal
$5.00 transfer fee for immature animals or
$7.00 transfer fee for mature animals with a reissue of papers (no additional update fee is needed)
 
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. What is needed is the height (from the ground to the withers, using a measuring stick, in increments of 1/4") 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.
