IMPORTANT NOTICE

In July 2006, the Colorado Legislature passed House Bill 06S-1009, which requires the Division of Registrations to verify that applicants for licensure be lawfully present in the United States. Any individual issued a license or registration by the Division with an effective date on or after January 1, 2007, must complete and sign an Affidavit of Eligibility. Visit this web page for more information.

Important Notice for Licensees Requesting Verification of License

Verifications of licensure include the licensee name, license number and status, original date of issue, basis of licensure, last renewal date, expiration date, and disciplinary action, if applicable.

Examination scores are no longer provided by the Division of Registrations. For score verifications, licensees may access the website of the American Association of Veterinary State Boards (AAVSB). Your initial NAVLE score is reported to AAVSB and to the licensing board to which you have applied. This initial score reporting service is included in your examination fee. All subsequent requests by you for NAVLE score reports must be directed to the Veterinary Information Verifying Agency (VIVA), which is operated by AAVSB.
