EMS: How to Update Your Name

Emergency Medical Responder certification and EMS practitioner licensure are professional credentials, name changes must be verified before changes are made.

Name changes are made using the "Wisconsin EMS Account Name Change" form. Wisconsin EMS forms and applications are located in Wisconsin E-Licensing system.

You will need to provide legal documentation of your name change. Legal documentation can be any of the following:

• Certified copy of a birth certificate
• Certified copy of your marriage certificate
• Certified copy of your divorce decree
• Certified copy of court documents that note your legal name change

In Wisconsin, you can get certified documents through the Wisconsin Vital Records Services.

The "Wisconsin EMS Account Name Change" form will ask you to upload one of the forms of documentation into the form prior to submission.
