Buyers should request and check registration and ownership of the registered llama of interest.
Looking at the "Certificate of Registration" is the easiest way, however you can also access the International Llama Registration (ILR) registry online and then search by animal name, animal registration number or owner name. The owner name is the least desired way to check an animal's information as it is very specific and requires the exact name of ownership. You must be a member of the ILR to attain this information.
The Transfer of Ownership form is on the reverse side of the Certificate of Registration. The signature of the seller or authorized agent is required for the transfer to be processed. The seller is responsible for the transfer of the registration papers to the new owner. This includes completing the transfer form, fee payment and mailing to the ILR, unless otherwise agreed to between Seller and Buyer. As such, do not accept a registration certificate as proof of ownership unless the Seller has signed off on the back of the ILR certificate and the date is denoted.
VERY IMPORTANT: Always make sure that the llama you buy can be registered, do not settle for less.

This is the responsibility of the seller to either provide the Buyer with a original ILR Certification of Registration executed on the back by Seller or an Application for Registration denoting two signatures at the bottom, the stud owner, and the dam owner at time of conception. ** Important: If you are the Seller and wish your herd identifiar to be used in the naming of the llama, you must have it in writing between you and the Buyer that it is agreed that the Buyer cannot delete your herd identifier from the application of registration.
