The NAVLE application process:

The ICVA NAVLE Application must be submitted PRIOR to the processing of this ICVA State Application. If you have not yet submitted your ICVA NAVLE application, DO NOT PROCEED. A link to the ICVA NAVLE application can be found on the the ICVA website.
You must submit an application through a state licensing board (or through their designated NAVLE processor) for approval to take the ICVA NAVLE State Application. The ICVA is the designated NAVLE processor for your chosen board and will verify your NAVLE eligibility on behalf of that board.

You will need to have your credit card information available to complete the processing of your on-line NAVLE State application. Credit cards accepted for payment of the NAVLE fee include Visa and MasterCard. This is a non-refundable fee.

The District of Columbia NAVLE application fee is $55.00
