Kentucky Board of Veterinary Examiners

Veterinary Facility Registration

This requirement did not exist before 2025. A statute required every existing Kentucky veterinary facility — any fixed premises or mobile unit where veterinary medicine or veterinary technology is practised — to register by 30 June 2025, at a reduced fee of $100 for anyone who met that original deadline. Registering later costs more on a rising, published schedule: $500 through 30 June 2026, $550 through 30 June 2028, and $625 after that. Renewal is flat at $200 every two years, due by 30 September of odd-numbered years, and up to two mobile units are covered by one registration before a $25 per-unit surcharge applies. Reinstating a lapsed registration costs far more than renewing on time — from $675 if the lapse is under six months, rising past $900 the longer it runs, and a lapse beyond five years requires applying as a brand-new facility. A narrow set of exemptions covers consulting-only experts with no physical facility, public rabies-vaccine clinics, and government-sponsored vaccine-only clinics.
