VSPS (Veterinary Services Process Streamlining) is the USDA APHIS system for eCVIs, Coggins tests, and accreditation renewal. Here's the official portal — plus plain-English help for everything the government site doesn't explain.
Go to the Official USDA VSPS Login →Takes you to vsapps.aphis.usda.gov — the official government site. We never ask for your login.
The #1 reason vets get stuck: VSPS doesn't have its own password — it signs you in through login.gov. Here's the short version.
Go to the official VSPS login, choose "Log In" → "Create Account," and follow the login.gov signup with your email.
Fill in every field marked with a red asterisk, then request the Veterinarian role using your state, National Accreditation Number, and veterinary school. If your info matches USDA records, approval is automatic.
Planning to create Interstate CVIs or Coggins records? You'll also need identity verification through login.gov (or in person at a USDA Service Center if online verification fails).
VSPS Help Desk: help@usda.gov or 877-944-8457, option 4. login.gov account problems: 1-800-457-3642. If your role isn't approved after 2 business days, email the help desk.
VSPS is for livestock — it doesn't handle companion animals. Pet owners need the USDA APHIS Pet Travel Website and a USDA-accredited veterinarian. Our Pet Travel Paperwork Kit walks you through the whole thing so your vet visit is faster and cheaper.
Everything in these guides exists somewhere across dozens of government pages and PDFs — we've done the digging, organized it, and translated it into checklists you can actually follow. Instant download. Not official USDA documents.
Get from "I can't even log in" to issuing clean eCVIs in one sitting.
Flying or driving with your pet? Know exactly what documents you need, what they should cost, and the deadlines that can ruin your trip.
