ICVA NAVLE APPLICATION

Where do you want a license to practice veterinary medicine?

Mark your agency for application as the state where you want a license to practice  veterinary medicine, because that is the state your NAVLE scores will be sent.  You can take your NAVLE in a state other then the state you are seeking approval from. If you plan to practice in more than one state or are unsure of where you will be practicing, use the AAVSB's VAULT service after you graduate and pass the NAVLE.
