SECTION 310:641-5-13. Issuance of certification or license

(a)   Upon successful completion of the examinations, an Oklahoma certification or license at the respective level of emergency medical personnel shall be issued. Concurrent registration with the National Registry is included during the initial license period. NREMT certification shall be maintained by emergency medical personnel licensed after April 1, 2010. Oklahoma emergency medical personnel licenses will be extended to meet the new expiration date for a two year transition period. An exception is permitted for Oklahoma licensed Intermediates that did not test to become AEMTs. When their national certification is not renewed, they may still retain their Intermediate license subject to Oklahoma requirements for renewal.

(b)   The initial expiration date of a license shall coincide with the National Registry expiration date, plus three (3) months. Subsequent license periods, if a licensee meets renewal requirements, shall be for a two (2) year period beginning July 1 and continuing through June 30 of the respective expiration year.

(c)   A five ($5.00) dollar fee shall be charged for a duplicate license, or license re-issued due to a name or address change.
