Additional
Instructions for
the Registration
of a Dog Owned
by a Resident of
Bermuda,
Canada, or
Mexico
Please verify the following information before submitting your application:
The dog is of a breed eligible for individual registration in the AKC Stud Book.
The dog was registered with the Bermuda Kennel Club (BKC), the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC), or the
Federacion Canola Mexicana (FCM) BEFORE submission of the application for AKC registration.
Do not submit the original pedigree. Please submit a clear, legible photocopy.
The pedigree issued by the BKC, CKC, or FCM for a dog registered in Bermuda, Canada, or Mexico contains at
least three (3) generations of ancestry and establishes that each dog in these three (3) generations was of the
same breed and registered in its country of birth with one of the registry organizations recognized by the AKC.
The person who applies to register the dog is identied as the recorded owner of the dog on the unrestricted
(not a Limited Breeding) BKC Registration Certicate, the unrestricted CKC Certicate of Registration, or the
unrestricted FCM Pedigree.
If BOTH the sire and dam of the dog identied on the application are AKC registered, print the AKC registration
number of the sire and dam in the appropriate spaces on the front of the application. In the case of Canada and
Bermuda, you may omit the copy of the Certied Pedigree. However, the Registration Certicate is still required.
If the dog identied on the application has been shown in AKC-member and/or AKC-licensed
events under its foreign registration number for more than thirty (30) days, write to Event Operations,
P.O. Box 900051, Raleigh, NC 27675-9051, and request an extension to continue showing the dog.

A Supplemental Transfer Statement must accompany this application for each intermediate transfer (that is, any
transfer other than the rst transfer occurring in the U.S. that is documented on this form).
• The dog must be registered with the name that appears on the Foreign Registration Certicate/Certied Pedigree.
Foreign titles will not appear on any AKC documentation.
