Veterinary practitioner – Identification card – Receipt

Competence for the procedure lies with the Austrian Veterinary Chamber (→ ÖTK).

For the issuing of a Veterinary Practitioner’s Identification Card, costs according to the Tarifordnung der Österreichischen Tierärztekammer (Austrian Veterinary Chamber) will accrue.

There are no specific deadlines to be met.

Required for the setting up of practice is the entry into the list of veterinary practitioners and the receipt of the Veterinary Practitioner’s Identification Card issued in parallel to the entry.

• In parallel to the entry into the list of veterinary practitioners the Veterinary Practitioner’s Identification Card will be issued.
• Entry into the list of veterinary practitioners in conjunction with the receipt of Veterinary Practitioner’s Identification Card entitles to taking up veterinary practice in Austria.

§ 6 Tierärztegesetz

The following documents have to be attached to the application:
