Every two years, individuals credentialed with CACVT are required to complete continuing education (CE) and renew their CACVT credential to be able to maintain an active RVT registration with the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA). This page explains when and how to renew your CACVT credential, what CE is required, and where to go if you have questions about renewal or reinstatement.
Please read all the following information before submitting your credential renewal form.

The chart below is a general outline of the current requirements. If you received a new CACVT credential within this cycle or if you reinstated an expired credential within this cycle, we recommend referring to your CACVT Credential Approval email for your most accurate credential renewal information. If your CACVT credential expired before this cycle, you will need to Reinstate a CACVT Credential before you are able to more forward with renewal.
* Late fees apply for applications received after the final renewal deadline.
* Credentialing fees are reviewed biennially and are subject to change from one renewal cycle to the next.
Credentials expiring on 6/30/2026 will need to renew prior to expiration. Applications submitted after their expiration date will incur late fees.
Ensure that all required CE hours are logged within your CACVT CE Log, were completed within the current renewal cycle, and adhere to the CACVT CE Guidelines before submitting an application and before the renewal deadline.
Log into your CACVT account and complete the renewal form via the link below.
If your credential is expired prior to 6/30/2026, you will need to submit a CACVT Credential Reinstatement application instead.
When you renew your CACVT credential, you maintain compliance with Colorado’s professional standards. Adding optional membership in CACVT’s professional association supports your long-term growth and engagement within our community.
For $70 per two-year cycle (also available as a one-year option), membership includes CE discounts, legislative updates, industry resources, and professional recognition that support you inside and outside the clinic.
Consider adding membership to maximize the value of your renewal. You can explore the full benefits of membership HERE.
