Hi Carole33,I will tell you this process will not be easy, as I too traveled to Italy (twice now) from the USA and unlike what the USDA website states, a veterinarian will not issue an EU Passport. They will however, issue a health certificate certifing that the pup is in good health and able to travel back to the US.We went to Rome both times and saw three different veterinarians who all told us the same thing, they will not issue an EU passport. You must go to an official office, who will only accept payment that is made first at the post office and the office hours of the official office are sporatic and they do not speak English. The veterinarian gave us a website, but there is only an Italian version. Here it is and I hope it helps.https://www.aslroma1.it/passaporto
Hi Audrey -First of all, CONGRATULATIONS on your upcoming wedding! I too, was married in Rome back in 2016 and I was in the same position you are in. While daunting at first, trust me it will be well worth the trouble!!!I’m from New York, are you coming from the States as well? Feel free to send me a private message, and I can give you the contacts of whom I contacted to have an English speaking priest.
