The mission of the Wisconsin Emergency Medical Services (EMS) program is to ensure that the highest quality and standards of pre-hospital emergency medical care are available to all Wisconsin citizens and visitors.  To operate as an EMT or Emergency Medical First Responder, one must be licensed with the State of Wisconsin and credentialed with an ambulance service.

The 2014-2016 Provider License Renewal application is now available online through individual E-Licensing accounts. The Renewal application must be completed by June 30, 2014, in order to obtain a current certification or license that is valid until June 30, 2016.  All current Wisconsin EMS provider licenses and certifications expire on June 30, 2014.

Important renewal dates to remember for 2014-2016:

November 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014 is the standard renewal period.

July 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014 is the late renewal period.

January 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016 is the reinstatement period.

A license or certification that has been expired for two years or more may only be reinstated by successful completion of the initial education, training and examination requirements.

As an EMS provider applicant, you will need the following information to complete the 2014-2016, EMS Provider Renewal Application on the E-Licensing system:

• Your initial or continuing EMS education refresher training completed between July 1, 2012 and June 30, 2014;

• Whether you were convicted of a felony or misdemeanor, or deferred prosecution, since your last application, or have pending charges at this time, or received a traffic violation that led to the suspension, revocation or withdrawal of your driver's license, and all required court documentation. (You will have the opportunity to upload the documents if you have them electronically.) If you cannot upload your documents into the application, you should email them to the Wisconsin EMS program at dhsemssmail@wisconsin.gov or fax them to 608-266-6391.
