License Verification (DVMs, RVTs, & CAETs)
The LA Board of Veterinary Medicine now has a real-time registry that can be accessed to allow interested parties to verify the current status of all active and expired DVM licensees (including Faculty licensees), RVT certificate holders and CAET certificate holders. This online registry is updated in real-time. Cancelled licenses are not yet included in the LBVM License Registry.
The LBVM License Registry is NOT primary source and does not currently include any disciplinary information for current, active or expired licensees and certificate holders. For such information, a public records request must be made.
DISCLAIMER: The information in the LBVM registry is updated periodically with data provided by the licensees as part of the application and/or annual renewal process. Due to the possibility of reporting and processing errors, the accuracy and completeness of records cannot be guaranteed. The LBVM cannot be held responsible for incomplete or inaccurate information in each licensees’ record. Visitors assume sole responsibility for any decisions made based upon this information.
LBVM License Verification Registry (DVMs, RVTs, & CAETs)
| Practicing veterinary medicine in the state of Louisiana without a current, ACTIVE license is a direct violation of the LA Veterinary Practice Act and is a serious offense for which the Board can take action. If you suspect someone of practicing veterinary medicine without a current, active license – such as an expired license – as indicated in the LBVM License Registry, the Board urges you to submit a formal complaint for investigation at www.lsbvm.org/complaints. |
The Louisiana Board of Veterinary Medicine is allowed by statute to provide a directory of licensees and certificate holders to include public information only. The directory cost is $0.02 per licensee included in directory PLUS a nominal credit card processing fee (2.8% + $0.25). The exact total for the requested directory cannot be provided until the form is completed and the directory is compiled based on the data that is being requested. An invoice will be emailed to you and can be paid via credit card through Authorize.net, our payment processor. The directory will be emailed to you in a MS Excel file format once the invoice has been paid in full.
