The NAVLE application process:

The ICVA NAVLE Application must be submitted PRIOR to the processing of this ICVA State Application. If you have not yet submitted your ICVA NAVLE application, DO NOT PROCEED.
If you do not know where you will be practicing, you have the option of marking the ICVA as your agency for application.
You must submit an application through a state licensing board (or through their designated NAVLE processor) for approval to take NAVLE. The ICVA is the designated NAVLE processor for your chosen board and will verify your NAVLE eligibility on behalf of that board.

Credit cards accepted for payment of the NAVLE fee(s) include Visa and MasterCard only. This is a non-refundable fee.

To be eligible for the NAVLE, you must fall within one of the following categories:

*One choice below is required.

AVMA-Accredited School Senior:

Many of the AVMA-accredited schools provide a senior class roster to ICVA as verification of eligibility to take the NAVLE.
Please reach out to YOUR school registrar to confirm whether your school provides a roster to ICVA for NAVLE approval and that you are listed on it.

If your school does not provide a roster:

Contact your school registrar and request that a letter verifying your anticipated date of graduation be emailed (eligibility@icva.net) to ICVA before the application deadline (August 1, for the November - December testing window and February 1, for the April testing window).
The document MUST be emailed directly from the school.

The NAVLE Candidate Bulletin states you must be within 10 months of graduation during the testing window when you take the examination.

AVMA-Accredited School Graduate:

Must provide verification of graduation for receipt by ICVA by the NAVLE application deadline (August 1 for the Fall testing window and February 1 for the Spring testing window).
Verification must be one of the following documents:

1. Letter emailed (eligibility@icva.net) to ICVA directly from your school verifying the date of graduation before the application deadline (August 1, for the November - December testing window and February 1, for the April testing window).

UNAM seniors and graduate students must have a letter emailed directly from the AVMA-accredited UNAM.

2. An electronic official transcript ordered from your school to be emailed (eligibility@icva.net) directly to ICVA.

Students from AVMA non-accredited schools:

Once you complete the first three steps of either the ECFVG or PAVE, you would be eligible to apply for the NAVLE.
You must request that ECFVG/PAVE provide ICVA with verification of completion of step 3. This verification must be received by ICVA before the end of the application window (August 1, for the November-December testing window and February 1, for the April testing window).

I am enrolled in ECFVG I am enrolled in PAVE I am NOT enrolled in a foreign equivalency program

ICVA will not accept documents proving eligibility that are emailed or faxed from candidates. All documentation must come from the institution and be sent directly to the ICVA office — not the state board office. All required documentation (verification letters from universities, the ECFVG or PAVE, etc.) must be received by ICVA by the application deadline shown above. No exceptions.

You must agree to the following statements before this application can be processed.

I certify that I am taking the NAVLE for the purpose of being licensed in Georgia and authorize the release of examination scores to the Georgia State Examining Board.
I understand Georgia may have additional requirements for licensure and that passage of the NAVLE does not guarantee licensure in the state of Georgia. This form is for the purpose of NAVLE application only. Licensing board contact information can be found here on our website: https://www.icva.net/licensing-boards/.
I hereby certify that all information on this application is true, full, and correct to the best of my knowledge. I have read, understand, and agree with the above statements. I understand that providing false information may result in the suspension or revocation of NAVLE approval or NAVLE scores.

Please note, if the payment method selected by you results in a dishonor or a later dispute as to the validity of the payment, your NAVLE eligibility may be suspended, your scores may be withheld and any scores that have been reported may be rescinded pending resolution of the dishonor or dispute and the payment of additional fees by you arising from such dishonor or dispute.
