Virginia EMS Providers (EMR, EMT, AEMT, Paramedic)

Virginia EMS providers applying for EMS certification or licensure in another state may be required to submit a Certification Verification Letter or Form confirming their Virginia certification status.

The Virginia Office of EMS (OEMS) now provides a self-service option within the Virginia EMS Portal that allows providers to generate and send their official State Certification Verification Letter directly to the requesting state.

Important

• This function must be accessed from a computer.

• The OEMS Mobile App does not currently support this feature.
