1. Make sure you have copies of your EMT certification, CPR card, and certificate of completion from your EMT-B course or a Verification of EMT Status form filled out and sealed by your home state (available here) and/or NREMT.

2. Print out the EMT reciprocity application (from above) and fill out all appropriate sections, and attach a $150 check made payable to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

3. Put together the packet, mail it to MA OEMS:

Massachusetts Department of Public Health

Office of Emergency Medical Services
