Litter Registration Help Guide
Use this guide to prepare queen, sire, litter, kitten, pedigree, and payment details.
Before You Start
- Have your membership number, breeder prefix, DACO number and applicant contact/address details ready.
- Prepare both parents' registration, breed, colour, microchip, council and owner details.
- Upload each parent's pedigree if you have not previously supplied it to FASA; otherwise you may leave that upload blank. The published policy also calls for a completed stud form signed by the stud owner and a four-generation pedigree showing colours and registration numbers.
- Prepare the litter birth date, breed, kitten count and each kitten's sex and colour/pattern. Mating date is optional.
Queen, Stud and Owner Contacts
Enter the sire and dam names, registration numbers, breeds, colours, microchip numbers, registering councils and owner names. Pattern and owner address are optional. For each parent's owner, provide an email address or phone number; at least one is required. Any email supplied must be valid.
Both pedigree uploads are optional. If you have not previously supplied a parent's pedigree to FASA, please upload it. You can still upload a pedigree to use the reader. Without an upload for that parent, enter its registered name or registration number and leave the field or press Enter to fill available registration details. Each parent can be looked up independently; check the results and complete missing details. Enter both parent names before reading the documents, then check every imported field against the original pedigree. Name changes can cause the attached pedigree to be read again. Include signed stud/service evidence with the relevant supporting files and retain originals.
Go to parent detailsLitter Dates, Breed and Fees
Enter the litter's date of birth and select its breed. The birth date cannot be in the future. If you supply a mating date, it cannot be in the future or after the birth date. The selected breed determines the Registrar group used by the application.
The current online fee depends on age alone: under six calendar months or six months and over. The published registration policies, section 9, also describe the six-month deadline, explanations for late litter applications and committee consideration after 12 months. Their penalty wording differs from the current online fee calculation. Ask the Registrar about a late or exceptional application and any additional payment before proceeding.
Go to litter detailsKitten Rows
Choose a whole number from 1 to 10. The form shows that many rows, labelled A to J. Complete each visible row with the kitten's sex and colour/pattern description. The sex choices are Male, Female, Neuter Male and Neuter Female.
The row layout follows the Litter Registration PDF: sex and colour/pattern, with official-use cells reserved for FASA. There are no per-kitten name or registration-designation controls. Put optional kitten names or extra litter information in Additional notes. Individual kitten registration is a separate application.
Check the count before submitting. Reducing it hides the extra rows; review the visible rows again if you increase it.
Go to kitten rowsDeclarations, Evidence and the PDF
Confirm that the litter and parent information is accurate before selecting the declaration. The form supplies the declaration date. The printed Litter Registration & Stud Service form includes signatures for the queen owner, stud owner and breeder; retain the required signed evidence for Registrar review.
Each selected file may be up to 20 MiB. The sire pedigree, dam pedigree and payment receipt may together exceed 30 MiB; the form uploads them one at a time. The complete email is checked against the 25 MB email limit, including encoding overhead. If it would reach that limit, staff receive a download link for the original documents; the application PDF stays attached when it fits.
Read the breeding and registration sections of the FASA policies. Keep accurate parentage, service and purchaser records. The purchaser guide is useful background on documents and ongoing breeder support; use current FASA advice for any dated requirements.
Go to declarationUploads, Payment and Your Outcome
Pay by direct deposit using the current fee and bank details shown on the application. The payment reference and receipt are optional; enter the reference you actually used if you have paid. A saved application or receipt upload does not confirm that FASA has reconciled your payment. Older PDFs may list cheque or cash: the online forms use direct deposit.
Each selected file may be up to 20 MiB. You can select multiple files; the form uploads one file at a time and shows progress. Keep the page open until it displays the outcome. Review document-reader suggestions against your originals before declaring the application correct.
If details need correction before saving, the form keeps your entries so you can correct them. If the application has already been saved and an upload fails, use the offered retry for that application. Repeated applications are allowed. If you have already paid, you do not need to pay again. If the result is uncertain, keep the reference and contact FASA support. Email failure does not mean a saved application has been lost. Reloading the page may lose file selections.
The outcome page reports the saved reference and any notification warning. Save the reference for enquiries. A confirmation acknowledges receipt; FASA still reviews eligibility, evidence and payment. Use Start a new application to repeat this application or start a different one.
