What kind of restrictions are there for taking pets across state lines?

We are taking 2 dogs, 1 cat and 1 parakeet by car across the US. Any restrictions or do we need any paperwork?
Answers:
We've driven cross country with our dog several times and it's never an issue. The only place you should have a problem is if you're crossing borders! We hid our dog to get into Canada! Good luck
im not sure but if you call your town hall they might know
DEPENDS ON THE ANIAML, IF YOUR TAKING A TIGER WITH YOU , YOU SHOULD CHECK WITH THE STATE
Shot records, license, and proof of purchase.
Across state lines there shouldn't be any problem (not like there is a border crossing there anyway). If you are worried about it, take their vaccination records (usually people only care if they are vaccinated against rabies), but I highly doubt you will run into any trouble. Crossing international borders is a different story, but state borders, nah.
Call your vet. You'll need to schedule an appointment with your vet, probably a day or so before leaving so that he/she can give a complete physical. They should fill out a health certificate for each animal (I'm not sure about the bird). You will need to let them know how many states you are going through, and where exactly you'll be stopping. The certificate is only good for 7 or 10 days and so you'll probably have to find another vet on the way if it takes any longer than that.
