Cat, dog or goldfish: Wallonia will review the detention permit to acquire a pet

This note provides in particular a revision of the compulsory detention permit to acquire a pet in the south of the country and its replacement by a “Digital confidence certificate“. “The current system requires the citizen to provide a central file extract attesting that he was not condemned for animal abuse or negligence. But there are flaws: a person can thus obtain a ‘virgin’ permit if he has just committed a serious offense. The procedure also generates heaviness for local powers“Explains Adrien Dolimont this Wednesday, on the eve of the presentation of his note to the government.

My goal is to refocus the permit on its main function, namely to effectively fight against animal abuse while simplifying the approach for the citizen of good faith“He added. In this context,”The principle will be to replace the current permit by a digital confidence certificate which will be automatically issued except for those who have been the subject of a conviction“continued the Minister-President.

Concretely, this certificate may be obtained by download on “My Wallonia space“With strong authentication. It will be linked to the composition of the household and no longer only to the individual and a provisional suspension will be possible in the event of a procedure in progress for negligence or mistreatment for a maximum duration of 60 days before any decision. The entry into force of the modifications is provided for 2027.
