VS FORM 10-3 INSTRUCTIONS
ALL information must be printed legibly or typed. Use a separate form for each species and owner.
1. SUBMITTER CONTACT INFORMATION
Enter the submitter’s business name/affiliation; the name of the individual submitter is optional if test results are returned to a general business fax, email, or mailing address.
Enter a fax number or email address to which we can return test results. Multiple email addresses are permissible. Specify if there is a preferred method of report delivery;
email will be used if no preference is stated. Provide a complete mailing address. If fax or email is not available, test reports can be mailed, but this will delay delivery of your
results. Repeat submitters are encouraged to be consistent with the submitter contact information that they provide, as the NVSL keeps a master record. If the test report for
an individual submission needs to be routed to a non-standard destination, clearly indicate special instructions.
2. NVSL SUBMITTER ID
For more efficient service, repeat submitters are encouraged to include their NVSL Submitter ID. If you do not know your ID, contact the NVSL at (515) 337-7514.
3. OWNER INFORMATION
Enter the complete name, city, and state of the herd/flock owner. Ensure the animal owner is identified here and not the property manager or veterinarian. If a National
Animal Identification System premises ID number has been assigned to the location of the animals, it may be entered.
4. EXAMINATIONS REQUESTED
Indicate the type of examination requested.
5. NATIONAL POULTRY IMPROVEMENT PLAN
Check the indicated box if the samples are being submitted as part of the National Poultry Improvement Plan (NPIP).
6. ACCESSION/REFERRAL NUMBER
This number is typically assigned by the submitter and is used for the submitter’s own reference.

If the requested testing is billable, check the appropriate payment method. If payment is by user account or credit card, enter the account number. Enter the expiration month
and year when using a credit card. Refer to the User Fees/Payment Options and the Catalog of Services/Fees, both located at
www.aphis.usda.gov/animal_health/lab_info_services/diagnos_tests.shtml, for specific test fees and a list of accepted credit cards. DO NOT SEND CASH.
