TEMPORARY PERMITS

{For Graduates of Non-AVMA Accredited Veterinary Schools Only}

An applicant who is a graduate of a non-AVMA accredited veterinary school, who meets the below

specified criteria, may apply for a temporary permit to practice veterinary medicine in the

Commonwealth. Temporary permits are issued for a period of six months with the possibility of one

6-month renewal. A candidate to whom the Board issues a temporary permit may only practice under

the direct supervision of a veterinarian licensed in the Commonwealth. In addition to submitting the

completed application, be sure to complete the temporary permit application.

To be eligible for a six month temporary permit, a candidate must have passed both the jurisprudence

examination and the national exams, and must be within six months of completing the PAVE or

ECFVG. A Board interview with the candidate and supervisor is required and will be scheduled

following application approval.

ALL APPLICANTS

The enclosed Professional and Ethical Reference Forms must be completed by currently licensed

Veterinarians who are familiar with your veterinary skills, as well as your professional and ethical

conduct. You must complete the top portion of the Reference Forms and provide them to the

references, who should complete them, have them notarized, and remit them to you in a sealed envelope

with their signature across the back. DO NOT SUBMIT UNSEALED OR UNSIGNED

REFERENCES.

The enclosed checklist must be filled out and submitted to the Board in order for your application to be

considered complete. Officially sealed transcripts and other forms to be filled out by a third party

(references, letters of licensure standing, etc) may be sent under separate cover, however it is preferred

that they be submitted with the application in order to avoid delays. If submitted with the application,

those items must remain sealed and your references must sign along the seal on the back of the

envelope. Letters of verification from states you currently hold or have held a license must be submitted

directly to the Board from that state. All applicants applying for licensure are required to submit

official sealed transcripts of the conferred degree or a notarized photocopy of the diploma. Please

remember that you are not permitted to practice veterinary medicine in Massachusetts until you have

received notification that the Board has granted a license.

Application Fees = $272.00

The above noted total application fee is made up of an application processing fee ($117.00) plus a

jurisprudence examination fee ($155.00). Both fees which are NON-REFUNDABLE should be paid

in one personal check or money order payable to the “Commonwealth of Massachusetts”. Please do

not send cash.

*Following review and approval of the application, when it is determined that all

licensure requirements have been met an initial licensure fee will then be

assessed*
