USDA accreditation deadline postponed indefinitely

According to the local USDA office in Georgia, the August 2 deadline for currently accredited veterinarians to elect to participate in the new USDA National Veterinary Accreditation Program (NVAP) has been indefintely suspended. No official deadlines have been established by the USDA for applying to the new program.

The USDA has a large backlog of applications for the new NVAP, and a just a fraction of the applications have been processed. Until that backlog has been resolved, veterinarians currently accredited under the old accreditation program will remain accredited. The USDA has urged patience for those who have applied, as applications can take several months to process.

For more information
The GA Area Office does not receive any information about the status of applications until the process is complete and DVMs are awarded their new veterinary accreditation numbers. All inquiries as to application status, including information about whether or not the application has been received, should be directed to the national program at nvap@aphis.usda.gov or 301-734-6827.
