Contact Information, Veterinary Information Verifying Agency
Candidates who successfully completed the NAVLE during or prior to the April 2007 administration or the NBE and CCT prior to November 2000 may use those examination results to meet ECFVG Step 3 requirements. However, the ECFVG requires original NAVLE and NBE/CCT score reports directly from the Veterinary Information Verifying Agency (VIVA) of the American Association of Veterinary State Boards (AAVSB). NAVLE and NBE/CCT scores are only reported to the ECFVG at the request of the ECFVG candidate. Requests for score transfers must be directed to VIVA.
