Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI)

CVI is a state-mandated form that is required for horses coming from one state into another state and back to the state of origin
Each state has its own CVI requirements.
This examination focuses on contagious equine diseases.
CVI requires a negative Coggins lab test result.
In Oregon, there are two types of CVI’s

A 30-day certificate CVI

The horse may travel to a specified address on the CVI form in another state, but must be back in Oregon before the 30-day CVI expires.
The 30-day CVI is valid for a single trip to a single destination.

A 6-month certificate EECVI (Equine Extended CVI)

An Extended Equine Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (EECVI) is a six-month equine health certificate that allows horses to travel across state lines for up to six months without requiring a new certificate for each trip.
The horse may travel to any state that accepts the EECVI and back into the state of origin for six months.
A Health Declaration and Movement Permit (HDMP) is the travel document that horse owners create for each individual trip when using an EECVI.
- Prior to each movement, owners log in to their MyVetLink account, enter their travel dates, origin, destination, and confirm that their horse is healthy.
- The system generates an HDMP that serves as the documentation displayed when crossing state borders.
- The HDMP must be kept together with the EIA/Coggins test (digital or paper copies are acceptable) for the EECVI to remain valid.
If the horse is sold within the six months of the EECVI, the EECVI is not transferable to a new owner.
