On-Line NAVLE Application
Updated August 2, 2010
The application deadline for the November-December 2010 testing window was August 1. The on-line application for the April 2011 testing window will be available on this site in mid-December, with an application deadline of January 3, 2011.
The NBVME offers candidates the option of applying for the NAVLE on-line and paying the NAVLE fee by credit card (Visa or MasterCard). This option is available to those candidates applying through boards that allow or require candidates to submit their applications directly to the NBVME and pay the NAVLE fee directly to the NBVME.
You should not submit this on-line NAVLE application if you are applying through the Canadian National Examining Board, The Puerto Rico Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners, or the Wyoming Board of Veterinary Medicine. Candidates applying through these boards must submit their NBVME NAVLE application directly to the board, by the board's application deadline date.
All NAVLE candidates must be approved by a licensing board before they can take the examination. Therefore, in addition to completing the NBVME on-line application, you must also contact your licensing board and complete the application your board requires. You must submit your state application form to the board office by their application deadline in order for the board to approve you to take the NAVLE.
