How Ohio Emergency Medical Technician license verification works

A Emergency Medical Technician in Ohio is licensed by the OH 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_number license_type status issued expires certifications city state county actions full_name.

Board note: OH-EMS: Department of Public Safety, Division of EMS 'EMS & Fire Providers — Certification Verification' (ASP.NET MVC, plain HTTPS, no captcha): POST /EMSProviders/Verification (cert number ≤8 digits or last/first name) → result table → per-row POST /EMSProviders/Verification/Index/Details (personId) → Person Details + every certification level with Status (Active, Inactive, Discipline, Suspension, Revoked, Retired, Pending…), Effective and Expiration dates. One number per person covers all levels; fire certifications are on the same record. No DOB. Captured 2026-11-04; canary Alex Goldsmith 186902 (Paramedic, Active, exp 2029-03-04).

EMS Compact (REPLICA) and multistate Emergency Medical Technician licenses

Emergency Medical Technician licenses can carry a multistate privilege under the EMS Compact (REPLICA). When the Ohio record shows a multistate license, the result includes multistate: true and the privilege states. Privilege status is confirmed at the compact's own lookup, never inferred.
