Board of Registration in Veterinary Medicine

The Details

What you need

For a fee, the Board provides certified license verification documents to current and former licensees, as well as other licensing boards, jurisdictions, or interested parties. The certified verification document provides the following public information on each licensee:

  • Name
  • License type
  • License number
  • License issuance date
  • License status
  • License expiration date
  • Disciplinary action information

Please note that the above-listed public information is also available, free of charge, through the Division of Occupational Licensure’s public “Check a License” database.

The Board does not complete licensing verification forms from licensing authorities in other states or jurisdictions, and provides only the above-listed public information to requestors.

If you are currently approved and registered to practice under the Tufts Institutional License and wish to obtain a letter verifying your status, please contact the Board by email.

Fees

Please note that a convenience fee may be assessed for all online credit card transactions. There is no fee for online payment by check.
