So I never ended up getting my California license.... But my nremt expires next march 31... Is that a problem if I never got state license ? I'm confused.. I finished my course December 2016. Is it too late to get the California license?

Just recertify your NREMT as inactive. All you need is enough education hours or retake and pass the written test again.

So is it considered inactive after expiration ?

Or inactive if I didn't get my Cali license yet

If you let your NREMT expire it is expired and is no longer good. If you want to keep your NREMT you must recertify it but request it to be placed on inactive status since you are not currently working as an EMT.

Yes. Without your state license you are not able to recertify your NREMT to active status and must recertify it as inactive status.

Since your NREMT has not expired yet you are still considered active. If you let it expire then it is considered expired or lapsed. If you choose to renew it then it will be considered valid but inactive.

Do I have to retake the whole course or just a refresher

If you let it expire depending on the time frame with maybe required to take a refresher or take the entire course again. If you don’t let it expire you just need to get enough continued education hours to keep it current. Go to the NREMT website and look under EMT lapse and EMT renew and you will find all this information.

The NREMT is just used as a way that says you have met the minimum testing requirements to be an EMT and those results are good for 2 years. CA uses the NREMT as their testing process.

Go to the county EMS website for the county you live in or want to work in and follow their process for getting your state license.
