How to request licensure verification
Submit Request by Mail
A request for licensure verification, or a letter of good standing, must be made in writing to the Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners. The fee is $25 and may be made payable in the form of a check or money order to the Maryland Department of Agriculture. The fee must accompany the request, or the request will not be processed.
To request the letter of verification, download, complete, and submit a Request for Licensure Verification Form - PDF - 137.5 KB. If the state veterinary board to which you are applying for licensure has a specific form to be completed, please submit that form with the Verification Form and payment.
Submit the form(s) and payment to:
Maryland Department of Agriculture
