BOARD OF VETERINARY EXAMINERS
New License Requirement
Effective June 17, 2003 and pursuant to Hawaii Revised Statutes
section 436B-10 and federal law, it is the policy of the State of Hawaii
("State") Board of Veterinary Examiners ("Board") that, in addition to
meeting the education, experience, and examination requirements for
licensure, an applicant for a Hawaii veterinarian's license is required to be
either a United States citizen, a United States national, or an alien
authorized to work in the United States.
This means that, even if an applicant meets the education,
experience,
and
examination
requirements
for
licensure,
that
applicant shall not be issued a license if that applicant is not a U.S.
citizen, a U.S. national, or an alien authorized to work in the U.S.
However, the Board will issue the applicant a conditional approval
that signifies that the applicant has met the education, experience, and
examination requirements for licensure; provided that this conditional
approval shall not be considered a license to engage in the profession and
shall not authorize the applicant to work in our State.
To obtain
authorization to work in our State, the applicant shall be required to contact
the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services ("USCIS").
In addition,
federal law [42 U.S.C.A. 666 (a)(13)] requires that once an applicant is
authorized by the USCIS to work in the U.S., the applicant must supply
his/her Social Security Number ("SSN") so that states can use this
information for child support enforcement purposes.
Once the applicant submits evidence to the Board that the USCIS has
authorized the applicant to work in the U.S. (without conditions or other
encumbrances),
provides
a
SSN,
and
meets
all
of
the
licensing
requirements in effect at that time (including, but not limited to, the
requirement that the applicant has not been convicted of any crime that is
directly related to the profession), the applicant shall be issued a full and
unrestricted license.
This conditional approval shall be valid for two (2) years. An applicant
must obtain the appropriate USCIS authorization within this two (2) year
period in order to have a license issued. If the applicant is unable to meet
this deadline, the applicant may be required to reapply for licensure and
meet all of the requirements in effect at that time.
