License Registry of DVMs, RVTs, & CAETs
The online LBVM License Registry allows interested parties to verify the most up-to-date status of DVM licenses, DVM Faculty licenses, RVT certificates, and CAET certificates.
| 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.
