Staying on top of your National Registry certification can sometimes feel confusing, especially when it comes to the difference between recertifying and regaining your status. It’s a common point of confusion for many Clinicians, but knowing the difference is key to a smooth process and ensuring you can stay on the job.

Recertification is all about renewal—it's what you do every two years to keep your National Registry certification current. But if your certification has lapsed, you'll need to regain it, and that requires a different set of steps. Don’t wait until the last minute to find out which path you need to take!

Swipe to learn the important distinctions between the two processes and save this post for a reminder.

Our Story

It has been nearly five decades since President Lyndon Johnson's Committee on Highway Traffic Safety recommended the creation of a national certification agency to establish uniform standards for training and examination of personnel active in the delivery of emergency ambulance service. The result of this recommendation was the inception of the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (The Registry) in 1970. Prior to the 1970’s, a national certification standard for emergency medical care did not exist. Since then, The Registry has certified over two million EMS providers. Today, over 330,000 individuals are Nationally Certified at the Emergency Medical Responder (EMR), Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), Advanced-EMT (AEMT), or Paramedic level. Entry requirements for national EMS certification include completing a state-approved EMS education course, and passing the National Registry cognitive and psychomotor examinations.
