  • EMS Compact: in the member grid

    Georgia is one of the 25 names in the member-state grid on emscompact.gov. The same page says privilege to practice follows a home-state license. It does not say MOS training is that license.

    Georgia's EMS personnel page says initial applications are chosen by National Registry level: EMT-Responder requires full NR certification as EMR, EMT requires full NR certification as EMT, AEMT requires full NR certification as AEMT, and Paramedic requires full NR certification as Paramedic. The same table also lists Advanced Tactical Practitioner as an alternate current certification for the initial paramedic application. The page does not say Army 68W training replaces those certifications.

    Georgia states it does not have an EMS reciprocity process. To apply for a Georgia license the page requires a current NREMT registration and the online application documents.

    Georgia describes a provisional EMT-Responder application only for military medical personnel (Medic in the United States Army, Medical Technician in the United States Air Force, or Corpsman in the United States Navy or Coast Guard) honorably discharged within the past 12 months under O.C.G.A. § 31-11-53 who reside in Georgia. The page says that provisional license is an EMT Responder credential valid for 1 year, with a $25.00 application fee, and that a permanent license still requires the initial application for that level. The page does not print the code 68W and does not say this provisional license is an EMT or paramedic credential.

    Re-read on 2026-09-27, emscompact.gov says the compact is established as state law in 28 participating states (active in 25). The member-state grid on that page lists Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming. A footnote says Alaska, Arizona, and Connecticut passed EMS Compact legislation in the 2025-2026 session, pending implementation, and those three names are not in the grid. Florida, North Carolina, California, and Washington are not in the grid. The page describes immediate recognition of a home-state license in other compact member states. Military MOS training is not described as a home-state license.
