Veterinary Medicines Digital Service update: New digital variation application process
From 28 May 2026 applicants will benefit from a streamlined digital experience when submitting Marketing Authorisation variation applications.

What’s changing

Applicants submitting variations to existing marketing authorisations will now be using a digital form.

This change will:

  • Enhance your experience and intuitively guide you through your variation application
  • Improve accuracy of applications and reduce consequential delays during validation
  • Provide customised guidance on documentation required, specific to your application
  • Speed up the end-to-end processing of your application

The new functionality is now live.
