National Veterinary Accreditation Program

The National Veterinary Accreditation Program (NVAP) is a credentialing system in the United States that certifies veterinarians to perform specific tasks related to animal health and import regulations. Accredited veterinarians can conduct health assessments, issue health certificates, and help ensure animals meet the laws for movement across state or country borders. This program enhances collaboration between veterinarians and government agencies to promote animal health, prevent disease spread, and facilitate lawful international trade. Overall, NVAP supports veterinarians in providing safe and compliant care for animals involved in trade, travel, and import/export activities.
