- Register your poultry and premises.

Registering a new poultry premises
If you have not previously registered your poultry and the premises at which you keep them, you can carry out this registration online. Once you have registered the poultry and premises, you will be given a Caller Reference Number. You will also receive confirmation of your registration by post. If you do not receive any such confirmation within two weeks of online registration please contact the Poultry Register Helpline on 0800 634 1112.
Linking your online user account to premises you have already registered
If your poultry and premises are already registered you can link your online account to these registrations. To do this you will need a Verification Reference Code (VRC): you will need one of these for each premises you link to. You may already have received a VRC: if not, you may need to contact the Poultry Register Helpline on 0800 634 1112 to request one.
