The mission of the National Veterinary Accreditation Program (NVAP) is to provide accredited veterinarians with the information they need to ensure the health of the Nation's livestock and animal population and to protect the public health and well-being.

Always check with the NVAP Coordinator in the state where you are seeking authorization before taking these modules to ensure the training is eligible for orientation credit.

NVAP Coordinators

NVAP coordinators are available to assist you with obtaining, maintaining, and updating your accreditation. As an accredited veterinarian, you must notify APHIS when your home or business contact information changes, one of your veterinary licenses expires or otherwise lapses, or you need to become authorized to perform accredited duties in an additional State. 

Contact your NVAP coordinator for help with these needs or anything else related to your accreditation.

Export requirements frequently change. Obtain current export requirements for live animals or animal products before each shipment.
