If you are NREMT certified, you will o en have to take additional continuing educational pieces or tests to meet each individual state’s requirements.  \nEach state sets rules for whether your certification will be accepted. Unfortunately, states o en change rules without notifying the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians, so you’ll have to verify the current requirements for the state you’re interested in working in.  \nCommon reciprocity requirements include:  \n􀂃 Current and valid NREMT certification or state certification  \n􀂃 Current state training meets the training requirements for the state in which you are applying  \n􀂃 Provide documentation of course completion initial certification at your level and/or course completion of a refresher course  \n􀂃 Written exam if you are not an NREMT  \n􀂃 Background check and possible fingerprinting  \n􀂃 Many states will waive further testing if you are an NREMT. Some states require an additional practical exam testing your skills.  \n􀂃 Some states require additional training to understand specific state protocols and procedures.  \n\n| Below are the stated requirements for all 50 states, Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and has been deemed to be valid by NCOAE as of May 24, 2022. |\n| --- |\n| ALABAMA |\n| Phone: (334) 206-5383 Link: [https://www.alabamapublichealth.gov/ems/](https://www.alabamapublichealth.gov/ems/)\u003Cbr>Summary: Alabama recognizes the NREMT (National Registry) Exam as basis for certification, but practical licensing examinations are still given by state-approved EMT Training Centers and must be completed prior to an Alabama state EMT license being issued. |\n| ALASKA |\n| Phone: (907) 465-3140\u003Cbr>Link: [https://dhss.alaska.gov/dph/emergency/pages/ems/training/default.aspx](https://dhss.alaska.gov/dph/emergency/pages/ems/training/default.aspx)\u003Cbr>Summary: Out-of-state applicants who hold current NREMT certification and show evidence of completing additional training as outlined in the Alaska Scope of Practice are eligible for reciprocity to the EMT-1 level. |\n| ARIZONA |\n| Phone: (602) 364-3150\u003Cbr>Link: [https://www.azdhs.gov/documents/preparedness/emergency-medical-services-trauma-system/](https://www.azdhs.gov/documents/preparedness/emergency-medical-services-trauma-system/)[ ](https://www.azdhs.gov/documents/preparedness/emergency-medical-services-trauma-system/)certification/faqs.pdf\u003Cbr>Summary: Arizona does not have reciprocal agreements with any other states; therefore, you cannot transfer your certification to Arizona.
