Registering with the ECFVG is not difficult — but it is unforgiving.

Most problems candidates face are not due to lack of eligibility, but due to small, avoidable mistakes that delay the process or force them to repeat steps.
❌ Mistake #1: Registering Before Confirming Your School Is Listed
Before opening an ECFVG account or paying any fees, you must confirm that your veterinary school is listed as ECFVG‑eligible by the AVMA.
If your school is not listed, you cannot register directly.
❌ Mistake #2: Opening an Account Before Preparing Documents
Once you open your ECFVG account, you have ⏳ 10 days to submit all required documents.
Prepare all documents first, then open the account.
❌ Mistake #3: Submitting Certificates Instead of the Actual Diploma
The ECFVG does not accept certificates or provisional documents.
They require the official diploma issued after graduation 🎓.
❌ Mistake #4: Incorrect or Incomplete Transcripts
The ECFVG requires official final transcripts for 📘 each year of study.
A course list alone is not accepted.
❌ Mistake #5: Notarization Errors
Incorrect notarization is one of the most common causes of delays.
If notarizing online, only 🖋 NotaryCam® is accepted.
❌ Mistake #6: Forgetting to Include Your ECFVG ID Number
All emails sent to the ECFVG must include your 👤 full name and 🆔 ECFVG ID number.
❌ Mistake #7: Assuming You Can Skip the English Language Requirement
You cannot proceed in the ECFVG pathway without completing the English language requirement 🌍 unless officially exempt.
⭐ Final Thought
If you follow the rules carefully and avoid these mistakes, ECFVG registration becomes a straightforward administrative step — not a source of stress.
