The Wisconsin EMS Office only issues a single license at your
highest eligible level (your "primary license level") based on
your education and training. You will complete only one (1) renewal
application.
Local credentialing is a process for obtaining both
service director and medical director authorization to practice with a
specific service and is done electronically using the "Local
Credential Agreement" (LCA) form through your E-Licensing account. If
you are listed as being on a service's roster (see your E-Licensing
profile), do not complete a LCA for that service. The LCA
process is only required to newly join services. Once you renew your
license, your local credentials will remain in effect.
E-Licensing is supported on a windows computer using
Internet Explorer. Other systems or browsers may not function properly.
Safari and Firefox are other browsers that are compatible.
LOG IN TO YOUR E-LICENSING ACCOUNT

Log into your E-Licensing account, enter your user name
and password to log into E-Licensing (see link at the beginning and end
of these instructions).
-
If you do not have this information you may attempt
to recover your logon information by going to the E-Licensing logon
page and clicking "Forgot Password." If your E Licensing
account has a valid email address on file, your logon information
will be sent to you by email. If we do not
have a active email address on file, contact the EMS office
for assistance or send your name, license number, and current email address to: dhsemssmail@wisconsin.gov
for faster service.
-
You may be required to change your password when you
log in. If you see "Your password is expired" you have
successfully logged into E-Licensing. Follow the directions provided
to change your password to one you will remember using the required
format.
-
DO NOT share your password with anyone as your
E-Licensing account contains personally identifiable
information!
Once you have logged into E-Licensing and changed your
password, use your user name and new password to log in; again, DO NOT share
your password with anyone!
If you get an "invalid logon" message, try
logging in using your WARDS user name and password, if known. If that
does not work, try your E-Licensing user name and password again which
may then 'sync' your accounts. Logons are case-sensitive so make certain
you are entering your user name and password EXACTLY as provided using
correct capitalization and no extra spaces. If you still get an error
message, contact the EMS office at dhsemssmail@wisconsin.gov
for assistance.
UPDATE YOUR E-LICENSING INFORMATION
Once logged into E-Licensing, verify and/or update your
profile with your current demographic information. We strongly recommend
that you use a stable email address that will not change frequently. It
is not necessary to add CPR and/or ACLS on your profile as it will be
required on the renewal application. In your profile, select "Click
here to show your current services" to make certain you are
credentialed with the correct services. If you work with services not
shown, you must complete a Local Credential Agreement (LCA) available
through your E-Licensing account to be added to the service roster. You
may not function as an EMS Provider if you are not properly credentialed
with the service. If you are no longer on services showing in
your list, contact the service director and ask that he/she remove you
from their WARDS roster.
