NAVLE Score Transfers

[jjmanutd24]

Hey guys!
Im a foreign veterinary graduate from India. I recently passed the ECFVG and the NAVLE after almost 2 years of hard work.
So i took the NAVLE in Connecticut and I am currently waiting for my Connecticut state license (i took it here because I was working as a Vet Tech at a hospital here). So my question is that now since I am free to work anywhere I want, and if i want to move to another state, how does the process of transferring scores work?
I understand that certain states require you to take the NAVLE again but I believe there are some that just require a score transfer from ICVA?

I have also applied for a Rotating Internship to a bunch of universities and If i do get into them, I believe I would need to get a license in that particular state.

This has all happened so fast and there are so many doors opening all of a sudden and its very overwhelming. I would appreciate any help you guys can provide!
Thank you!

Congrats!

I would look up the new state's veterinary board info and see what they require. Worst case, you can always contact the state board (I've found these websites difficult to navigate/interpret, but that could just be me!).

On the AAVSB website, it was pretty self-explanatory when I changed mine over after matching in 2015. There was an online form to fill out, you paid about $80 and they sent it to whatever state board you requested. Then I just needed to fulfill the other state requirements (which for where I was going was basically a longer form, background check, and pay them a few hundred dollars). The state I was transferring to did not require any state board exam, but many do so you may have to complete that. None of the places I looked into prior to match day required NAVLE again as long as you had passing scores within the few years prior.

Okay great thank you so much!!

also as far as I know, there's no single resource that lists each state's requirement (I could be completely wrong though!) This website has a link to all the state boards though: https://www.avma.org/KB/Resources/Reference/Pages/Veterinary-State-Board-Web-sites.aspx
