The Veterinary Board protects the health, safety and welfare of the general public, as well as the welfare of animals, by enforcing the licensing standards prescribed by statute for the licensing and regulation of veterinarians, veterinary technicians, veterinary premises and animal crematories.

If not renewed, all licenses and certificates lapsed as of February 1, 2019!   We are still accepting renewals with the penalty fee included.  You can renew online or by sending your paper renewal application with the appropriate fees.  We cannot process your renewal without the penalty fee payment. 

***THE ONLINE LICENSE RENEWAL SYSTEM IS NOW AVAILABLE BY CLICKING ON THIS LINK.  

Online renewal note: if you get an error message telling you that your license is already linked, that means you at some point created more than one online account or someone did it for you.  CALL US AT 602-364-1739 and Board staff can tell you which account is linked properly. 

After your payment transaction, you MUST click to continue to GO BACK to the renewal application or your information will not be updated in our system!  Do not close your browser immediately after your payment goes through! There are prompts that tell you to return to the application after payment.
