Attestra: we raise confidence
Created in September 2001, Attestra is an independent non-profit organization that develops, implements and operates its own IT system for identification and traceability.
Attestra has, among other things, developed the identification and traceability solution SimpliTRACE, which is the basis of the Alatrace registry for pets. This system has also been successfully adapted for several livestock sectors in Québec and across Canada.
Attestra was mandated by the Ministère de l’Agriculture, des Pêcheries et de l’Alimentation du Québec (MAPAQ) in accordance with the Animal Health Protection Act (chapter P-42). Since its inception, the team at Attestra has proven itself by developing innovative technological solutions. Its expertise is recognized as much in Québec as in Canada, as seen by the trust of its partners and clientele.
Mission
Attestra develops, implements and manages tailor-made identification and traceability systems, with proven effectiveness. Its sensible solutions, at the service of the agri-food and environmental sectors, ensure the safety of and confidence among the community, day in and day out.

Micropuce Québec offers a support program to municipalities for pet identification using a microchip (AMIA). Le programme AMIA comprend deux objectifs principaux : to make low-cost microchip insertion accessible to citizens as well as to promote the establishment of a single provincial registry for dogs and cats.
The AMIA program is intended for all municipalities that wish to comply with the new provincial pet registry requirements and that use the Alatrace solution.
It enables municipalities to encourage citizens to join the registry by facilitating the planning, funding and holding of identification clinics in their territory.
This brand-new program has been available since May 2021.
To be eligible for the AMIA program, applicant municipalities or the organizations mandated by them will need to meet the following requirements:
