Check Your PAVE® Jurisdiction

Check Your PAVE Jurisdiction

Be sure to check whether the jurisdiction where you want to be licensed recognizes PAVE. Forty-seven states and territories in the United States, all provinces and territories in Canada*, and the countries of Australia and New Zealand recognize PAVE. The AAVSB continuously works to expand PAVE recognition in more jurisdictions.

*Canada only recognizes PAVE Certificate holders who passed the QSE after September 2014.

If you are pursuing licensure in a jurisdiction that does not accept PAVE, we encourage you to contact the veterinary board regarding your current PAVE status. You can find this information by using the Board and Agency Directory.
