# Transfer an Item or Animal ### Aim Efficiently and securely transfer custody of a single item, animal or plant with date, time, and GPS details being automatically recorded. ### Benefits It is possible to transfer an item or animal without creating a consignment. The Aglive Platform can record a transfer when the person wanting to transfer the item or animal simply selects the item, animal or plant and then scans the ID of the person who will take custody of the item or animal. It is possible to also attach certificates and documents (such as an eNVD for cattle) and add that certificate or document to the record for each item, animal or plant. ### Steps * Send an item * Receive an item --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
