#1 Q: My goat is eligible to be registered/recorded. Can I show it even if I don't have a Certificate of Registry/Recordation yet?

#1 A: You should first ascertain that the officials for your show will accept an officially stamped copy of the ADGA application for registration/recordation if the animal is under six months of age on the base date of the show.  If so, then you can submit an application for registration/recordation to ADGA along with a request for an officially stamped duplicate.  (See "How Can I Obtain an Officially Stamped Duplicate of an Application for Registration/Recordation")



#2 Q: How Can I Obtain an Officially Stamped Duplicate of an Application for Registration/Recordation?

#2 A: This can obtained from the ADGA office only if the animal is under six months of age for which you are applying.  Please note that not all shows will allow you to show on the stamped duplicate.  You should first check with the officials of your show. A stamped duplicate application can be obtained several different ways:

1. Mail two copies of the application for registration/recordation to ADGA with a self-addressed stamped envelope and request that one copy be officially stamped and returned in the envelope.  There is no charge for this service.  The ADGA office will keep one copy and begin processing the application. You can also mail your application to ADGA with a request that a duplicate copy of the application with an official stamp on it be faxed to you at a cost of $2.00 per application.

2. Fax the application for registration/recordation to ADGA with a request that an officially stamped copy be faxed back to you and provide the fax number to which the application is to be returned.  The cost is $2.00 per application faxed to you. It is not necessary that you mail the originals. ADGA will process the registration/recordation from the application received by fax.  You can also ask that the stamped duplicate application be mailed to you.  A charge of ten cents per copy and the postage will be billed to your ADGA account for this service.

3. Submit the application via the ADGA web site with a request in the comments section that an officially stamped duplicate of the application be either faxed to the number you provide at a cost of $2.00 per application or mailed to you for the cost of ten cents per copy plus postage.



#3 Q: How Does Our Club Apply for the Sanction of a Show with ADGA?

#3 A: A Pre-Show Sanction packet should be requested from the ADGA office. For the lowest sanction rate, your sanction application along with two copies of the rules and classes and the sanction/rosette fee must be postmarked to ADGA not later than 30 days prior to the show.
