The forms shall be completed by the owners of the foal or their authorized representative and that person shall provide all the information required. The foal must remain in the State until it has been identified by a Department representative or until written notice that the foal application has been accepted and the foal registration is issued.

2)         To complete the official registration of an Illinois foaled horse, the owners or their authorized representative must forward the Jockey Club Certificate to the Department. If the horse has met all the requirements for registration, the Illinois official seal shall be affixed on the face of the Jockey Club Certificate. The seal shall include the Illinois registration number for the horse.
