License Reciprocity
EMS personnel licensed or trained in other states may
be eligible for EMS
licensure in Wisconsin. Wisconsin requires current
National Registry certification for licensure for all license levels.
Eligible applicants without current National
Registry certification will need to pass the National
Registry examination. A letter of authorization for entry to
the exam will be sent to you upon proof of eligibility. Documentation and materials
needed to determine license eligibility are outlined below for each
license level. Electronic applications are submitted through
Wisconsin
E-Licensing. (exit DHS) You will need to create a Wisconsin
E-Licensing account, for details and instructions please go to the Wisconsin
E-Licensing
page. (exit DHS)
Administrative Fees
Credit card payment system within E-licensing is now functional and
able to
collect administrative fees. If you are unable to make use of this system
you may submit your fee via cashiers check or money order made out to the
