How District of Columbia Emergency Medical Technician license verification works

A Emergency Medical Technician in District of Columbia is licensed by the DC EMS Office. PrimaryCheck looks the license up live at the board's public verification system (board lookup) by license number, or by name when no number is supplied. The record the board publishes is captured as evidence, hashed, and rendered into a proof PDF.

Fields returned for this board: license_type status expires national_ems_id full_name suffix.

Board note: DC-EMS: DC Health (Department of Health), EMS certification public personnel lookup on ImageTrend License Management (dc.imagetrendlicense.com, enterprise 2bfc230d…); open JSON API users/PublicLookupUser + getusercertifications, no reCAPTCHA; NO certification number is published (result columns: level, status, expiration date, suffix, service name; getusercertifications answers empty) — lookups run by name, a claimed number is reported match=None. Statuses seen: Active, Expired. No DOB published (name-only >1 hit = ambiguous). Levels → emt/aemt/paramedic per the connector's PROFESSIONS map. Captured 2026-11-04; canary David Nesmith (Paramedic, Active, exp 2028-06-29 (no number published)).
