When you go to the DMV
do you need to take the emt county card and the live scan???

or can I just take the live scan??
 
hm. it seems to depend on where your at. here in dallas, you just go to city hall, pay 40 bucks for a background check, take a defensive driving, go back and take a picture and thats it.
 
.

im out here in Cali
 
you only need to be an EMT to renew your Ambulance License so yes, bring your livescan.

No county card is necessary to present to the DMV??

Only Live scan and medical exam? correct

No, you NEED your county card!
 
That is what it says on the DMV site, but I just got mine 2 weeks ago and they asked to see my county certification. :)
 
...because if you show it they won't ask when you renew it.

You have up to 1 year to obtain Basic Cert with an ambulance license so technically you don't need it when applying for the ADL but, as JPINFV mentioned, if you have it already, you might as well bring it with you and get it on there now.
 
Never knew such a thing existed!
 
The process here in Cali is as follows.
National Registry
County Card (you need a livescan, $40, and application)
DMV (livescan, $25, and medical forms)
DOT......"Department of Transportation", this you do once your employed with a company, you need this before you can start actually driving ($161, county cards, DL, Ambulance DL, medical green card, and forms from your employer)

I just completed everything today, took about two weeks to do everything. PHEW

The dot card is only for la and also I believe city of glendale
 
Well... there's two different "DOT" cards. There's the LACo "DOT" card which you get when you get hired (I think, I've never needed it). The other "DOT" card is the green wallet card verification that your physician signed off on your health for the purposes of driving.

Oh, didn't realize that green card was called dot. I own NEMT for 10 years and never knew that The laco dot is only if you work in city of la, not sure if you get something from county when you work in uncorporated area as i never had to deal with them yet.
 
The green card requires you get a DL51 completed. The DL51 meets the requirements of the DOT/FMCSA for an interstate CDL hence why the green card is called a "DOT" card.
