The Texas Veterinary License Application is the official packet filed with the Texas Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners (TBVME) by anyone seeking to practice as a Veterinarian (DVM), Licensed Veterinary Technician (LVT), or Equine Dental Provider (EDP) in Texas. The application proves you meet education, examination, fingerprinting, and moral character requirements under 22 Texas Administrative Code § 571.5 and the Texas Veterinary Licensing Act (Texas Occupations Code Chapter 801).
A single missing signature, a misspelled name, or a late fingerprint card can delay your start date by months and cost you a job offer. According to TBVME, licenses are issued within 7 business days of a passing State Board Exam score, but only for applicants whose paperwork is already clean on the TBVME licensing page.

What the Texas Veterinary License Application Is and Who Must File It
The Texas Veterinary License Application is the multi-page packet the TBVME uses to decide if you may practice veterinary medicine, veterinary technology, or equine dentistry inside Texas. The packet covers three license types: the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) license, the Licensed Veterinary Technician (LVT) license, and the Equine Dental Provider (EDP) license. Each license type uses its own application form, but they share most of the same field structure, fee channels, and supporting documents as outlined in the TBVME DVM General Information packet.
You must file this application if you graduated from an AVMA-accredited (or Board-approved) school, passed the NAVLE (or VTNE for LVTs), and want to legally treat animals for compensation in Texas. You must also file if you hold a license in another state and want a Texas license by examination, since Texas does not currently grant straight reciprocity. Foreign graduates must first obtain ECFVG or PAVE certification before the application is accepted, per the 22 Tex. Admin. Code § 571.5 qualifications.
Practicing on an expired or unissued license violates Texas Occupations Code § 801.251 and exposes you to administrative penalties, criminal charges, and civil liability. The Board also files this application as the official record used during disciplinary investigations, so every answer you give becomes part of your permanent licensing file. Treat the form as a sworn statement, because it is one.
The TBVME receives roughly 1,000 new DVM applications per year along with several hundred LVT applications, and a meaningful share are returned for missing fingerprints, missing transcripts, or unsigned affidavits.
Before You Start: Documents and Information You Need
Gather every document below before you log into the Self-Service Licensing Portal, because the portal will time out and the paper packet must arrive complete or it will be rejected. Missing items are the single biggest cause of delay reported by the Board.
- Government-issued photo ID. A valid driver’s license, state ID, or passport is required to verify identity at fingerprinting. Without it, IdentoGo cannot capture your prints, and the Board cannot run your FBI background check.
- Social Security Number. Required under Texas Family Code § 231.302 for child-support cross-checking. Leaving it blank stops the application cold.
- Certified copy of your birth certificate. Used to confirm legal age and identity. A photocopy is not accepted; the certified copy with the raised seal must be mailed in per the Provisional License Information sheet.
- Official veterinary school transcript. Must be sent directly from the registrar to TBVME. Hand-delivered or opened transcripts are rejected.
- NAVLE or VTNE score report. Sent directly from the ICVA or AAVSB to TBVME. The Board will not accept a printout you bring yourself.
- Two letters of reference from licensed veterinarians. Signed, dated, and describing specific veterinary skills they have personally observed.
- Cashier’s check or money order for the exam and license fee. Personal checks and company checks are refused at the cashier window.
- Fingerprint receipt from IdentoGo. Required since October 1, 2018. Without the receipt, the Board cannot release your candidate ID.
- Letters of good standing. From every state where you currently or previously held a veterinary license.
- Passport-style photograph. Two recent 2×2 photos signed on the back are required for some packets.
Where to Get the Form and How to Access It
The official forms live on the TBVME documents library and are also linked from each license category page. Do not download forms from third-party blogs, because the Board updates revision dates often and an outdated form will be rejected at intake. The current DVM examination packet is the 2020 revision available at the TBVME DVM Application Packet PDF.
Most applicants now begin online through the Self-Service Licensing Portal, where you create an account, upload your documents, and pay by credit card. The portal then routes the file to a Board licensing analyst who reviews it and issues your Applicant ID. Paper filing remains available for applicants who cannot upload, and the mailing address is Texas Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners, 333 Guadalupe Street, Suite 3-810, Austin, Texas 78701.
LVT applicants pull the LVT Application Packet 2020, and EDP applicants use the EDP packet linked from the same library. International graduates needing a provisional license email licensing@veterinary.texas.gov to request the Provisional License Application, since that form is not posted publicly.
Print a clean copy on white 8.5×11 paper, ink only (no pencil), and write in capital letters unless the field is a signature. Save a PDF copy of every page after you complete it, because the Board will sometimes ask you to resubmit a single page rather than the entire packet.
Step-by-Step: How to Fill Out the Texas Veterinary License Application Line by Line
The walkthrough below follows the DVM Examination Application field order, which is the most common version. LVT and EDP applicants will see nearly identical fields with different exam names; differences are flagged where they appear.
Section 1, Box 1: Full Legal Name
This field asks for your complete legal name, in the order First, Middle, Last, exactly as it appears on your Social Security card. Write in all capital letters in black ink, and use your full middle name rather than an initial whenever possible. Maria Elena Rodriguez writes RODRIGUEZ, MARIA ELENA on the line that asks for Last, First, Middle.
If you go by a nickname or have hyphenated your last name after marriage, use the legal version on file with the Social Security Administration, not the version on your school diploma. The most common mistake on this field is writing the diploma name when it differs from the SSA record, which triggers an automatic identity-verification hold and adds two to four weeks to processing. A frequent misconception is that the Board will “figure out” small spelling differences; it will not, because the FBI fingerprint return must match exactly.
Section 1, Box 2: Other Names Used
This field asks for every other name you have ever used, including maiden names, prior married names, and any legal aliases. List each one on its own row with the dates you used it, formatted MM/YYYY to MM/YYYY. Maria Rodriguez writes MARIA ELENA SANCHEZ, 06/2008 to 09/2019 if Sanchez was her maiden name.
If you have never used another name, write NONE rather than leaving it blank, because a blank field is treated as an incomplete answer. The biggest mistake here is forgetting an old maiden name, which causes the FBI background check to come back with unmatched records and forces a re-fingerprint. Many applicants wrongly believe this field only covers legal name changes; it also covers professional pen names, religious names, and any name used on prior licenses.
Section 1, Box 3: Date of Birth
This field asks for your birth date in MM/DD/YYYY format, with leading zeros for single-digit months and days. Write 03/14/1985, not 3/14/85 or March 14, 1985. The Board uses this date to confirm you have reached the age of majority required by 22 Tex. Admin. Code § 571.5.
If your birth certificate shows a different date than your driver’s license (for example, a foreign-born applicant whose certificate uses DD/MM/YYYY), use the U.S. format and attach a short cover note explaining the discrepancy. The common mistake is reversing day and month, which is grounds for a hold because the Board cross-checks against the birth certificate. The misconception is that the Board only cares about the year; the full date must match every supporting document.
Section 1, Box 4: Social Security Number
This field asks for your nine-digit SSN, written as XXX-XX-XXXX. Texas requires it under Family Code § 231.302 for child-support enforcement screening. Maria Rodriguez writes 123-45-6789.
If you do not have an SSN because you are an international applicant, write NONE and attach the Board’s SSN affidavit explaining the absence. The frequent mistake is transposing two digits, which causes an automatic mismatch with the IRS and SSA databases and stops processing. The misconception is that the SSN is optional; without it, your application cannot be accepted at all.
Section 1, Box 5: Mailing Address
This field asks for the address where the Board should send your wall license, Authority to Practice Letter, and any deficiency notices. Use a street address whenever possible, because some Board mailings are sent certified and require a signature. Maria Rodriguez writes 4420 ELM STREET, APT 2B, HOUSTON, TX 77004.
If you only have a P.O. Box, list it on Line 1 and add a physical residence address on Line 2, because fingerprint and background results must tie to a physical location. The biggest mistake is using a temporary address (such as a school dorm) that will expire before the license is issued, which causes mail to be returned. The misconception is that updating your address with the post office is enough; you must update it directly with the TBVME licensing analyst by email.
Section 1, Box 6: Email Address and Phone Number
This field asks for the email and phone number where the Board can reach you with deficiency notices and exam instructions. Use a personal email you check daily, not a school email that will be deactivated after graduation. Maria Rodriguez writes maria.rodriguez@gmail.com and 713-555-0142.
If you change email addresses during the application window, email licensing@veterinary.texas.gov immediately with both addresses so they can update your record. The common mistake is using the school email address that gets shut off two weeks after graduation, after which the courtesy deficiency email bounces and the applicant never knows. The misconception is that the Board will call if email fails; it will not, because the Board has stated applicants are responsible for timely receipt of all communications.
Section 2, Box 7: Veterinary School Attended
This field asks for the full name and city of every veterinary college you attended, plus your dates of attendance and your degree date. Write the school name as it appears on your diploma, not an abbreviation. Maria Rodriguez writes TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF VETERINARY MEDICINE, COLLEGE STATION, TX, 08/2021 to 05/2025, DVM AWARDED 05/16/2025.
If you transferred between schools, list each one on its own row with overlapping dates explained in a short attachment. The biggest mistake is listing only the school that granted the degree and omitting an earlier school, which the Board catches when transcripts arrive and treats as a misrepresentation. The misconception is that only AVMA-accredited schools matter; the Board still wants to see all veterinary education for completeness, even if a non-accredited program does not count for licensure under the Texas A&M licensing guidance.
Section 2, Box 8: NAVLE Score and Date
This field asks for your North American Veterinary Licensing Examination score and the date you sat for the exam. Write the four-digit scaled score and the date in MM/YYYY format. Maria Rodriguez writes Score: 532, Date: 11/2024.
If you took the older National Board Examination (NBE) and Clinical Competency Test (CCT) before NAVLE was available, list both scores and check the box for “pre-NAVLE” administration. The common mistake is leaving the score blank and assuming the ICVA score release alone is enough; you must self-report the score on the form, and ICVA must send it directly. The misconception is that a passing score expires; under current Board rules, NAVLE passes do not expire, but the Board may still ask for clinical recency proof if the score is more than 5 years old.
Section 2, Box 9: Other State Licenses
This field asks whether you currently hold or have ever held a veterinary license in another state, country, or U.S. territory. Check Yes or No, and if Yes, list the jurisdiction, license number, and current status on the rows provided. Dr. James Carter writes OKLAHOMA, License #6512, ACTIVE, Issued 06/2018.
If you ever surrendered, suspended, or had a license revoked, you must check Yes and attach a written explanation along with the official disciplinary order. The biggest mistake is checking No because the prior license is currently inactive; the question covers any license ever held, and a False answer here is grounds for denial under Texas Occupations Code § 801.402. The misconception is that student or temporary permits do not count; they do, and they must be listed.
Section 3, Box 10: Criminal History Disclosure
This field asks whether you have ever been arrested, charged, convicted, placed on deferred adjudication, or received probation for any offense other than a minor traffic violation. Check Yes or No, and attach certified court records and a personal explanation for every Yes answer. Dr. James Carter writes YES, DUI, Tulsa County OK, 06/2014, Deferred adjudication completed 06/2015 and attaches the dismissal order.
If charges were expunged or sealed, you still must disclose them to the Board, because Board access to records is broader than public access. The biggest mistake is hiding a deferred-adjudication outcome under the belief it is “not a conviction”; the form expressly asks about deferred adjudication, and concealing it is itself grounds for denial. The misconception is that out-of-state offenses do not need to be reported; every offense, every state, every country must be listed.
Section 3, Box 11: Disciplinary History Disclosure
This field asks whether any licensing board, hospital, employer, or professional organization has ever taken adverse action against you, including denials, restrictions, suspensions, or voluntary surrenders. Check Yes or No, and attach the official action and a written explanation. Dr. James Carter writes NO if he has a clean record.
If a complaint is currently pending against you anywhere in the world, you must disclose that pending status, not just final actions. The biggest mistake is interpreting “adverse action” narrowly to mean only final discipline; pending investigations also count. The misconception is that confidentiality agreements with prior employers protect you from disclosing; they do not override the Board’s mandatory disclosure rule.
Section 4, Box 12: Fingerprint Confirmation
This field asks for your IdentoGo Service Code (TRS reference number) and the date your prints were captured. Write the reference number and date in the format provided. Maria Rodriguez writes TRS Code: 11G6XB, Captured 06/02/2025.
If your prints were rejected by the FBI for poor quality, schedule a re-print at IdentoGo and update the Board with the new TRS code. The biggest mistake is using a fingerprint card from a different agency (such as a hospital pre-employment card); only IdentoGo prints linked to the TBVME service code are accepted. The misconception is that prints from another Texas license (e.g., nursing) carry over; veterinary licensing requires its own dedicated capture.
Section 5, Box 13: Affidavit and Signature
This field is the sworn statement that everything in your application is true, signed under penalty of perjury and notarized. Sign in blue or black ink, write the date in MM/DD/YYYY, and have a Texas notary stamp and sign the bottom. Maria Rodriguez signs Maria E. Rodriguez, dates 06/05/2025, and the notary completes the jurat.
If you are out of state, you may use a notary in your home state as long as the seal is clear and the commission is current. The biggest mistake is signing before the notary, which voids the jurat and forces a complete re-execution. The misconception is that an electronic signature works; the Board requires a wet-ink signature on the paper packet.
Section 5, Box 14: Application Fee
This field asks for the fee enclosed and the form of payment. The DVM examination fee is $515 per the DVM General Information PDF, and provisional applicants pay $605 under the Provisional License Information sheet. Write the amount and check the box for cashier’s check or money order.
If the fee is short by even one dollar, the entire packet is returned uncashed. The biggest mistake is sending a personal check, which is refused at intake and treated as no payment at all. The misconception is that the fee is refundable if you withdraw; it is generally non-refundable, and applicants should contact the office in advance to confirm any exception.

How to File the Completed Form
The TBVME accepts applications through three channels, and you should pick the one that lets you keep the cleanest paper trail. Most new applicants now use the Self-Service Licensing Portal because uploads are timestamped and the analyst can request fixes inline.
- Online portal. Create an account at the TBVME licensing page, upload PDFs of every page, and pay the $515 DVM exam fee or $315 LVT exam fee by credit or debit card. Processing typically begins within 5 business days, and the portal stores your confirmation number as proof of filing. Save a screenshot of the confirmation screen.
- By mail. Send the complete packet, original signatures, certified birth certificate, and a cashier’s check or money order to Texas Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners, 333 Guadalupe Street, Suite 3-810, Austin, Texas 78701. Use USPS Certified Mail with Return Receipt for proof of delivery. Allow 10 to 15 business days for intake processing.
- In person. You may hand-deliver the packet to the Austin office during business hours, but the staff will not review it on the spot. Ask for a date-stamped receipt at the front desk and keep it.
- By fax. Fax is generally not accepted for the initial application because of the original-signature and certified-document requirements. Fax may be used only for follow-up documents at the analyst’s request.
Fees must be paid by cashier’s check, money order, or, for online filers, by credit/debit card. Personal checks, company checks, cash, and Venmo or Zelle are refused, per the DVM General Information sheet. Once the analyst confirms intake, you will receive an email with your Applicant ID, which you then use to register and purchase the State Board Exam.
What Happens After You File
Within 5 to 10 business days of intake, a licensing analyst reviews your packet and either issues an Applicant ID or sends a deficiency email listing what is missing. The deficiency email goes to the address in Box 6, which is why a stable personal email is critical. The Board has stated that applicants bear full responsibility for the timely submission of all required materials.
Once you have an Applicant ID, you purchase the SBE online and must complete it in one sitting within 10 days of purchase, per the State Board Exam page. The minimum passing score is 85%. If you fail, a re-application with a new fee is required, and it must reach the Board on or before the next application deadline.
After you pass, the Board issues your license number and Authority to Practice Letter within 7 business days, and your wall license arrives by mail within several weeks. You may begin practicing as soon as you receive the Authority to Practice Letter; you do not need to wait for the wall license. Display the wall license in your primary place of practice as required by Board rule.
Renewals fall on the last day of your birth month each year, and DVMs need 17 hours of continuing education annually as summarized on the Belo Law veterinary licensing FAQs. Practicing on an expired license is a violation that can result in discipline.
Mistakes to Avoid When Filling Out the Form
- Sending a personal check. The cashier rejects it on sight, and the entire packet is returned uncashed and unprocessed.
- Using a school email address. Once the school deactivates it after graduation, deficiency notices bounce and the applicant never sees them.
- Skipping a maiden or prior name. The FBI background check returns unmatched, forcing a re-fingerprint and a 4 to 6 week delay.
- Hand-delivering an opened transcript. The Board only accepts transcripts sent directly from the registrar in a sealed envelope.
- Signing the affidavit before the notary. The jurat is void and the entire affidavit page must be re-executed.
- Listing only the conferring school. Omitting earlier veterinary coursework is treated as a misrepresentation when transcripts arrive.
- Answering No to deferred adjudication. Deferred adjudication is expressly covered, and concealing it is grounds for denial.
- Using a non-IdentoGo fingerprint card. Only IdentoGo prints linked to the TBVME service code are accepted.
- Leaving the SSN blank without an affidavit. A blank SSN field is treated as incomplete and stops processing.
- Writing the date as 3/14/85 instead of 03/14/1985. The non-standard format triggers a manual review and adds days.
- Failing to update an address change. The wall license is mailed to the address on file and may be returned undeliverable.
- Assuming a license from another state transfers automatically. Texas does not grant straight reciprocity; you must apply by examination.
Do’s and Don’ts
- Do print in capital letters with black ink, because the analyst scans the form and OCR fails on light or cursive writing.
- Do mail the packet by USPS Certified Mail with Return Receipt, because that is your only proof of delivery if the packet is lost.
- Do keep a full PDF copy of every page, because the analyst may ask you to resend a single page rather than the whole packet.
- Do verify your name on your SSA card before writing Box 1, because mismatches cause identity-verification holds.
- Do call the Board at (512) 305-7555 if a deficiency email arrives, because phone calls resolve issues faster than email.
- Do schedule fingerprinting early, because IdentoGo appointments fill up two weeks out in major metros.
- Don’t use a P.O. Box as your only address, because background checks require a physical residence.
- Don’t sign in pencil or blue glitter ink, because non-standard ink is rejected at intake.
- Don’t assume an expunged offense does not need to be disclosed, because Board access exceeds public records.
- Don’t wait until the application deadline to mail, because Certified Mail still takes 3 to 5 days to arrive.
- Don’t send original diplomas, because the Board does not return them and they may be lost.
- Don’t rely on the school registrar’s promise to send transcripts; follow up in writing every 7 days until confirmed.
Pros and Cons of Filing on Your Own vs. With Help
| Pros of Filing on Your Own | Cons of Filing on Your Own |
|---|---|
| Saves the $300 to $1,500 an attorney or licensing consultant typically charges, because the form itself is not legally complex for clean applicants. | Disclosure questions about criminal or disciplinary history are easy to misanswer, and a wrong checkbox can trigger denial. |
| Forces you to learn the Texas Veterinary Licensing Act, which helps you spot future renewal and CE pitfalls. | A licensing consultant can flag fingerprint and transcript timing issues that pro se filers typically miss until it is too late. |
| You control the timeline directly, because you do not wait on a third party to upload documents. | Foreign-graduate or provisional applications are paperwork-heavy and benefit from an experienced hand. |
| You build a direct relationship with the licensing analyst, who is often the same person handling your future renewals. | If you have any prior arrest, deferred adjudication, or disciplinary action, an attorney’s narrative can shape the Board’s view. |
| Your records stay in your hands, which simplifies any future multi-state application. | Mistakes that delay licensure cost real income; a 6-week delay for a new associate easily exceeds $10,000 in lost wages. |
FAQs
Do I need to take the NAVLE before applying?
No. You may apply during your final year of vet school within 60 days of graduation, but your license will not issue until both the NAVLE and SBE are passed and all documents are received.
Is the $515 application fee refundable if I withdraw?
No. The fee is generally non-refundable, though the Board may consider refunds in limited circumstances if you contact the office in writing before exam registration.
Can I write my nickname in Box 1 Full Legal Name?
No. Use the exact legal name on your Social Security card, because the Board cross-checks SSA records and a mismatch triggers an identity-verification hold.
Do I list a deferred adjudication in Box 10?
Yes. Box 10 expressly asks about deferred adjudication, and concealing it is itself grounds for denial under Texas Occupations Code § 801.402.
Are personal checks accepted?
No. Only cashier’s checks, money orders, and online credit or debit card payments are accepted; personal and company checks are refused at intake.
Does Texas grant reciprocity to out-of-state vets?
No. Texas does not grant straight reciprocity; out-of-state DVMs must apply by examination and pass the Texas SBE, though NAVLE scores transfer.
Can I use fingerprints from another Texas license?
No. The TBVME requires fingerprints captured through IdentoGo under the TBVME service code; prints from other licenses do not transfer.
Do I need to disclose a maiden name in Box 2?
Yes. Every prior name, including maiden names and aliases, must be listed so the FBI background check can match historical records.
Is the State Board Exam in person?
No. Since 2025 the SBE is administered online and must be completed in one sitting within 10 days of purchase using your candidate ID.
Can I begin practicing the day I get my Authority to Practice Letter?
Yes. The letter authorizes immediate practice; you do not need to wait for the physical wall license to arrive in the mail.
Are foreign veterinary graduates eligible to apply?
Yes. Foreign graduates must first complete ECFVG or PAVE certification, then may apply for full or provisional licensure through the standard packet.
Do I need to send original transcripts myself?
No. Transcripts must come directly from the school registrar to TBVME in a sealed envelope; hand-delivered or opened transcripts are rejected.
Will the Board call me if my application is incomplete?
No. The Board sends deficiency notices by email to the address in Box 6, so you must keep a stable personal email on file.
Can I file the LVT and DVM applications at the same time?
No. Each license category has its own application, fee, and exam, and you must complete each separately through the TBVME portal.
