Premises identification (PID) is a way of linking livestock to land locations. Having a premises identification number for your operation allows for traceability information to be accessed quickly for the protection of animal health, public health and market access for your industry.

The first step is to obtain a PID number. Each Canadian Province and Territory has specific guidelines for creating a premises identification number. For information regarding premises registration in your province, go to FAQ – How can I get my Premises ID number?

Your PID number is then used when reporting the receipt or departure of animals from this premises and is required to complete movement events in the CLTS. For detailed instructions on how to add or edit your PID in your CLTS account, Click here
