You are only eligible to challenge the written and practical testing one time.

If you completed your in-service prior to expiration, and it has been less than 120 days since expiration, you can submit your continuing education/renewal form and $50 reapplication fee. Only check, money order or certain credit cards are accepted (no cash). For credit card payment use the Credit Card Form. Submit in person or by certified mail.

Adding Social Security Numbers to Acadis

To be compliant with the rules and regulations associated with the EMS Compact, which allows Indiana certified EMS personnel to practice in other EMS Compact member states, the EMS Section is required to collect Social Security numbers from all current license holders and new applicants. Indiana EMS personnel are asked to enter their Social Security number into their existing Acadis account. Only the last four digits will be visible and will be used for identity verification, particularly with the National EMS Coordinated Database. Read additional instructions and information
