The Maryland State Veterinarian’s Office has lifted the requirement for intrastate equine Certificates of Veterinary Inspection (CVIs), effective February 1, 2026.

Equine Travel Requirements:

• Maryland equids traveling within the state must have a valid Coggins test to participate in equine events.
• While not required, it is recommended that horses traveling intrastate do so with a valid CVI or EECVI.
• The use of EECVIs has been reinstated.
• The EHV statement is no longer required on CVIs.
• Interstate Certificates of Veterinary Inspection are required for equids originating outside of Maryland
