PAVE Program
12101 W 110th St
Suite 300
Overland Park, KS 66210

Once a PAVE file is complete, the PAVE Committee will review the file. Reviews typically take 5-7 business days.
If approved, a digital PAVE Certificate of Completion will be issued. You will receive the original certificate in the mail within a few weeks. Physical copies will be mailed upon request.
Official copies may be sent directly to state licensing boards upon candidate request. Requests can be made by emailing [email protected]. There is no charge for this service.

PAVE certificates do not expire. Certification remains valid indefinitely.
A PAVE certificate is not a license to practice veterinary medicine in the United States, Canada, Australia, or New Zealand.
All PAVE candidates must meet jurisdictional licensing requirements, and North American licensure applicants must pass the North American Veterinary Licensure Exam (NAVLE®).
