License Expiration Dates and Renewals

Certification or licensing is done for the sole purpose of protecting the citizens of Wisconsin.  It assures the public that an individual holding a certificate or license has met certain minimum competencies and that he or she is authorized to practice as defined by law.  

All individual EMT and First Responder, ambulance service provider and medical first responder provider licenses expire on June 30th of even numbered years.  Licenses must be renewed prior to the expiration date in order for the licensee to continue practicing and/or operating. You may not practice as an EMT or First Responder unless you have a current  license/certificate. 

Failure to receive a renewal notification does not relieve the holder of the responsibility to renew his/her license.  Licensees should ensure that address and e-mail information is kept current on Wisconsin E-Licensing in  order to best assure that they receive all renewal notifications and mailings from the Wisconsin EMS Unit office.
