HOW TO APPLY FOR A VETERINARIAN LICENSE BY RECIPROCITY
These instructions apply if an applicant already holds a current license in another state. If the applicant does not hold a current license, refer to the instructions for original licensure.
Instructions for All Reciprocity Applicants
Submit all of the following:
-
Completed, signed, and notarized State of Delaware Board of Veterinary Medicine Application for Licensure/Examination.
-
Pro-rated fee (non-refundable) by check or money order made payable to "State of Delaware."
-
National Board Examination (NBE) and Clinical Competency Test (CCT) scores or North American Veterinary Licensing Examination (NAVLE) scores, whichever applies, sent directly from Veterinary Information Verification Agency (NBE scores are not required if the applicant was initially licensed before 1971; CCT scores not required if the applicant was initially licensed before 1980).
-
Letters of good standing from each state in which the applicant has ever been licensed.
To request a score transfer, see www.aavsb.org.
If the applicant received his or her veterinary education outside the U.S., see Educated Outside the U.S.A.
Educated Outside the U.S.A.
If the applicant received his or her veterinary education at a foreign veterinary college that is not AVMA-accredited, the applicant must submit a copy of the certificate issued by the Educational Commission for Foreign Veterinary Graduates (ECFVG) or by the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association, as applicable. This requirement is in addition to the requirements above.
Temporary Licenses and Permits
A temporary permit applies to nonresident veterinarians validly licensed in another state. The requirements are the same as those above. When the applicant is approved for the permit, he or she will be notified to submit the temporary permit fee by check or money order made payable to "State of Delaware." Please do not submit this fee until notified to do so. See fee schedule for amount.
An applicant may instead apply for a temporary license as, for example, when the temporary permit would not apply. For a temporary license, the applicant must also meet all of the above requirements. In addition, he or she must submit a letter from a licensed Delaware veterinarian verifying that the applicant will remain in the veterinarian's continuous employ and supervision and that he or she will monitor the applicant's professional activities and be fully responsible for the applicant while he or she is under temporary licensure. When the applicant is approved for the temporary license, he or she will be notified to submit the temporary license fee by check or money order made payable to "State of Delaware." Please do not submit this fee until notification is received from the Board office. See fee schedule for amount.
When the applicant has submitted the required fee, the Board office will issue a certificate of the temporary license or permit. Under no circumstances should applicants begin practicing in Delaware before the temporary license or permit is issued.
Reinstatement
An applicant applying to reinstate a lapsed Delaware veterinary license does not have to re-submit documents already in possession of the Board office. However, the applicant must complete an Application for Reinstatement of Lapsed License, pay the applicable reinstatement fee, submit letters of good standing and provide documentation of continuing education. Please refer to Section 9.2 of the Rules and Regulations. Contact the Board Office for the reinstatement application.
Business License
Prior to practicing in Delaware, applicants should contact the Delaware Division of Revenue at (302) 577-5800, or

about a business license in accordance with
Chapter 23 of Title 30.
