Expired Maine EMS Clinician License

eLicensing Portal

There are several pathways for renewing an expired EMS license.  If you are unsure of which of the following pathways apply to you, please contact a member of our licensing team.

My Maine EMS license expired less than 90 days ago and I wish to relicense at the AEMT or Paramedic Level

You cannot perform EMS care, treatment or transport until your EMS license is renewed. Once you have the required amount of CEHs, complete and submit the Maine EMS renewal form found in the eLicensing portal. You may also submit a current NREMT certification at the level you wish to relicense at. There is no fee for this.  Your EMS license number will NOT change. 

  • If you submit CEHs, your Maine EMS license expiration date will be 3-years from your previous license expiration date.
  • If you submit a valid NREMT card, your Maine license expiration date will match your NREMT expiration date. 

 

My Maine EMS license expired more than 90 days ago but less than 2 years ago and I wish to relicense at the AEMT or Paramedic Level

You cannot perform EMS care, treatment or transport until your EMS license is renewed. Once you have the required amount of CEHs, complete and submit a "EMS Clinician & New Vehicle Operator Application" found in the eLicensing portal. You also must complete a new background check for every state you have lived in for the past three years (except Maine). You may also submit a current NREMT certification at the level you wish to relicense at. In both cases, you will then need to pay the $21 Maine background check fee. A new background check for Maine will be completed. Your EMS license number will NOT change. 

  • If you submit CEHs, your Maine EMS license expiration date will be 2 years from the end of the month it is issued.
  • If you submit a valid NREMT card, your Maine license expiration date will match your NREMT expiration date. 

 

My Maine EMS license has expired more than 2 years ago

  • If you still have a valid NREMT card or out-of-state State Issued EMS certificate or licensure:
    • You cannot perform EMS care, treatment, or transport until your EMS license is renewed. Once you have the required amount of CEHs, complete and submit a "EMS Clinician & New Vehicle Operator Application" form found in the eLicensing portal. You also must complete a new background check for every state you have lived in for the past three years (except Maine). You will then need to pay the $21 Maine background check fee. A new background check for Maine will be completed. Your EMS license number will NOT change. Your EMS license expiration date will match your NREMT/out-of-state certification/licensure expiration date. If you have both, we will use the later date (but no more than 3 years).
  • If you do not have a valid NREMT card or out-of-state State Issued EMS certificate or licensure:
    • There are options through NREMT if you have previously held NREMT or State EMS certification/licensure.  To learn more, please contact the National Registry of EMTs about their re-entry pathways, OR
    • You will need to complete a new EMS licensure course

None of the above situations apply to me
