ITS NOT TOO LATE FOR RE-LICENSURE Posted Tuesday, July , 2010 by webmaster

Even though the deadline for re-licensure has expired on June 30, 2010, it is not too late to re-new your license. However, the cost will now be doubled to $150 for all levels but you will still use the same mechanism as before June 30. You may not be employed as an EMT after September 30, 2010 (the date your card expires). After December 31, 2010 you will have to retake the National Registry exam in addition to the penalty fee if you have not currently certified by National Registry.

Late re-licensure is available at http://www.ems.ga.gov
