IMPORTANT NOTICE: Updated 05/21/2019

The New Jersey Office of Emergency Medical Services has switched to the NREMT examination. Go to OEMS website to view the most frequently asked questions regarding the examination.


The former EMT website at njoemscert.com ceased operations on 12/31/2018, OEMS staff does not have access to any records from that site.


To apply for EMT Recertification you will need to complete the following steps:

1. Successfully complete 24 NJ approved CEU’s and Refreshers A, B, and C totaling 48 CEUs.

2. Log into your existing account at NJEMS.US (Do not create a new account). The 6-Digit EMS ID is the EMT number printed on your EMT card.

3. If you do not remember your password for NJEMS.US, please use the FORGOT YOUR PASSWORD tool located under the login section.

4. Click on the Renewal Certification Form link and complete the application. The link will be available 6 months prior to expiration date.

5. DO NOT send any documents to NJ OEMS unless specifically requested to do so. It is advisable that you personally keep a complete record of all continuing education and relevant documents for up to a minimum of one year after completing the renewal application. The burden of proof will rest with the individual to prove that all of the requirements were met at the time of renewal. Should you have any questions or concerns please contact the NJ OEMS at ems@doh.nj.gov
