To practice in Vermont, an EMS provider must hold a valid Vermont EMS certification (now referred to as a license). To renew your Vermont EMS license with a valid NREMT certification, locate and print off the appropriate recertification paperwork on the Documents page based on your level of Vermont licensure. Complete the recertification application, include a copy of your National Registry card, and submit to Vermont EMS.
