ECP Licensure

Emergency Care Providers must hold a Montana license in order to practice. NREMT Certification does not convey practice authority; rather it is a credential used to determine whether an individual qualifies for a Montana License. 
License types include the following:

  • Emergency Medical Responders (EMR)
  • Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT)
  • Advanced Emergency Medical Technicians (AEMT)
  • Paramedics

If you seek information about EMS SERVICES (Ambulance Services) please contact the EMS and Trauma Systems Section of the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services.

The qualifications for licensure are included in the application checklist and you may apply online with the online application process.
