Procedure details

For clear identification and registration, a 12-digit holding number (= registration number in accordance with the Livestock Traffic Ordinance) must be assigned to a holding. This makes it possible to assign the reports submitted in the Hi-Tier database to a holding and is required, among other things, for applying for an equine passport.

The 12-digit holding number is structured according to the statistical municipality key: 2 digits federal state, 1 digit administrative district, 2 digits rural district, 3 digits municipality, 4 digits consecutive number, e.g. 05 123 456 7890. Optionally, the country code for Germany (276) can also be prefixed, e.g. 276 05 176 148 9876.

The Offices for Food, Agriculture and Forestry are responsible for assigning farm numbers and for recording and changing address data. They also assign the relevant farm type to the registration number.
