October 19th, 2009
Due to the busy renewal season, applicants for initial certification/licensure, reciprocity, reinstatement or renewal will have to make an appointment with Brooke Miller (EMT-Basics) or Amanda Hutson (First Responders, Paramedics, & Instructors). Please call 859-256-3565 to schedule your appointment with the appropriate person.

To ensure processing prior to the expiration date, your completed application and fees must be received in our office no later than October 30, 2009. Payment must be in the form of a certified check, money order, or a check from an official governmental unit made payable to the KY Board of EMS.
Do not send your continuing education documentation at this time. Your renewal requirements, as set forth in Kentucky Administrative Regulations 202 KAR 7:201, 7:301, 7:401, and 7:601, are subject to a random audit by the Kentucky Board of EMS during the renewal cycle.
If you choose not to renew any of your certification(s) or licenses, then pursuant to KRS 311A.095 (6) you will not be allowed to function in those capacities in Kentucky following the above expiration date. Allowing a certification and/or license to expire may or may not affect other certifications you may hold.
