Illinois rabies proof is a legal document, not a text message. Chicago boarding desks typically want rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella dated within 12 months. A blurry photo that cuts off the expiration is why people get turned away.
Illinois clerks and Chicago facilities both want a complete certificate, not a cropped screenshot.
