Endorsement Credential Application

Details:

Every other year, on the even years, all credentials need to be renewed with CACVT by June 30th to prepare for registration renewal with DORA by October 31st. These are two separate processes.  If you have a provisional registration from DORA and are not yet credentialed with the CACVT, you will need to contact DORA to find out what your renewal requirements will be.

About the process:

  • All CE needs to be entered into the CE log in your Member Profile before submitting the Credential Application.
  • Each Credential Application must go through CE review to ensure the continuing education requirements were met; this process can take up to 6 weeks. If there are any questions regarding your submitted CE, we will contact you for further clarification.
  • An audit of 10% of the individuals who submit applications will be required to provide CE certificates for all of their submitted hours.  To expedite the process, it is recommended to have them uploaded in your CE log but is not required to submit a renewal application.
  • Credential certificates will not be mailed. Once your Credential Application is approved, you will receive an email with instructions on printing or downloading a PDF of your credential certificate to submit to DORA for registration renewal. 
  • The final step to continue to be a veterinary technician in Colorado is to renew your registration with DORA.
