IMPORTANT NOTICE for EMTs:
The EMS Agency no longer performs certification/recertification by walk-in or appointment with same-day service. Mail your complete application or submit in person during normal business hours. If submitting in person, bring all original documents and a duplicate as no copying of documents will be performed. In order to prevent a lapse in certification, submit your application at least 30 days prior to expiration along with a self-addressed stamped envelope. The EMS Agency will process and mail your certification/recertification within 21 days of receiving a complete application.
