State and Provincial Licensing Agencies

SCROLL BELOW to find contact information for your state or territorial licensing agency.

What to know before contacting your chosen licensing agency:

• All Canadian applications are processed through the National Examining Board (NEB).
• Candidates may only apply for approval to take the NAVLE through one state or territorial licensing board.
• NAVLE application requirements, deadlines, and application fees vary across jurisdictions.
• Make sure to contact the licensing agency before the NAVLE application deadline.
• All application materials must be received during the application period. No exceptions are permitted.
• Candidates are responsible for obtaining the necessary NAVLE application materials.
• You can apply for NAVLE approval through one board only, and that board will receive online access to your NAVLE score automatically upon score release and for one year thereafter.
• You may not change your licensing board once your application is submitted.
• Once you pass the NAVLE, you may request score transfers to other jurisdictions through the American Association of Veterinary State Boards (AAVSB).
