  2. A copy of the current rabies certificate. (This is not a medical record or receipt stating rabies was given with other vaccinations or veterinary care but a single document referring to only the rabies vaccine that includes a tag number, vaccination information and is signed by your veterinarian.)
  3. Proof of spay/neuter is either documented on the rabies certificate or medical records.
