France departure: selected official identification, rabies and EU-passport conditions obtained; complete San Marino entry procedure remains to confirm.
Identification
Dog / Cat · In the cabin / Accompanied hold baggage
French official advice requires identification by chip and/or tattoo. This batch selects a microchip; the advice does not specify tattoo eligibility dates or detailed chip/rabies sequencing, so a tattoo-only exception is not generated.
Healthy adult private dogs/cats travelling with their owner from France, main residence in the EU, using a microchip and valid EU pet passport, with the final entry into San Marino by land through Italy. Cabin/checked refers only to a possible accompanied flight to Italy, not a flight entering San Marino. Current French advice establishes selected conditions, not complete local approval; confirm Italian transit and San Marino acceptance. Other origins, young animals, tattoo-only travel, independent cargo and sale/re-homing are excluded.

The current San Marino entry advice requires valid rabies vaccination for dogs and cats. It does not state the detailed waiting period or vaccine expiry in this country paragraph; do not infer them from a general EU analogy.

The animal must carry a European pet passport provided and completed by a veterinarian before transport. This requirement does not show that a visitor must obtain a second San Marino passport or register locally.

Applicable conditions
Confirm full current rules with San Marino’s veterinary service: vaccine timing, number of pets, health certification, permits, arrival/quarantine and Italian transit. ISS lists passport and import/export certification services, but that list is not a complete entry protocol. Historic 2004 EU-law references/Italy exceptions have not been reconciled here. San Marino is not an EU member; a comparison to EU travel does not automatically import every EU provision or exemption.
