      Virginia EMS Providers (EMR, EMT, AEMT, Paramedic)<\/h3>\n

      Virginia EMS providers applying for EMS certification or licensure in another state may be required to submit a Certification Verification Letter or Form<\/strong> confirming their Virginia certification status.<\/p>\n

      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.<\/p>\n

      \n

      Important<\/span><\/h2>\n
        \n
      • \n

        This function must be accessed from a computer.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        The OEMS Mobile App does not currently support this feature.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        \n

        Instructions for Virginia Providers<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

        Step 1 \u2013 Log Into the Virginia EMS Portal<\/h3>\n

        Log into your Virginia EMS Portal account using a computer.<\/p>\n

        \n

        Step 2 \u2013 Navigate to \u201cOther Information\u201d<\/h3>\n

        Once logged in:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • \n

          Click on the tab labeled \u201cOther Information.\u201d<\/strong>
          (This is the same section where you access your Continuing Education (CE) Reports.)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          \n

          Step 3 \u2013 Select \u201cState Verification Letter\u201d<\/h3>\n

          On the same line as your CE Report icons, you will see an icon labeled:<\/p>\n

          \u201cState Verification Letter.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

            \n
          • \n

            Click this icon.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

          • \n

            A pop-up window will open.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            \n

            Step 4 \u2013 Enter the Requesting State\u2019s Email Address<\/h3>\n

            In the space provided:<\/p>\n

              \n
            • \n

              Enter the official email address supplied by the state in which you are applying.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

            • \n

              Submit the request.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              The State Certification Verification Letter will be emailed directly to the email address you enter.<\/p>\n

              \n

              Important Submission Notes<\/span><\/h2>\n
                \n
              • \n

                Only one email address may be entered at a time.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

              • \n

                You cannot send multiple copies simultaneously.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

              • \n

                If you need to send verification to more than one state, you must repeat the process separately for each state.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

              • \n

                It is your responsibility to ensure the email address entered is correct and matches the requesting state\u2019s instructions.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
