Veterinary Health Certificates

Certificates of Veterinary Inspection/CVIs

Veterinary Health Certificates, or Certificates of Veterinary Inspection (CVI), are official documents required by law when transporting animals domestically. A vet health certificate for travel helps prevent the spread of diseases by verifying that an animal has been inspected for illnesses by an accredited veterinarian and was found to comply with movement regulations. The GVL Compliance Assistant platform assists practices in preparing veterinary health certificates online.

GlobalVetLink provides Certificate of Veterinary Inspection CVI solutions for domestic travel for all species, as well as International Health Certificates and Hawaiian Health Certificates for international and Hawaii pet travel.

As more states require electronic CVIs, veterinarians need a reliable way to ensure compliance while conducting inspections in remote settings. Our new Production Animal Wet-Ink Signature CVI workflow was designed with these challenges in mind, allowing seamless pre-inspection preparation and straightforward wet-ink signature certificate completion.

How It Works:

Prepare in the Clinic: The veterinarian or staff can generate the Production Animal CVI before the inspection, selecting the wet-ink signature option.
Field Inspection: After inspecting the animals, the veterinarian signs the printed CVI, provides it to the transporter, and takes a picture for record-keeping.
Post-Inspection Reconciliation: Within 48 hours, the clinic updates the electronic CVI, uploads the signed image, and completes the electronic signature for final submission to the states of origin and destination.
