Fees

Fingerprints required

The EMS provider certification/licensure process requires that all initial applicants submit fingerprints for a Criminal History Record Information search. Renewal applicants are not required to re-submit fingerprints unless they have lived outside of Colorado within the past three years. All applicants who have lived outside of Colorado within the past three years must submit fingerprints and pay for both a Colorado and a nationwide FBI fingerprint-based Criminal History Record Information search. Fingerprint results are not provided to the applicant or employer. The Colorado Bureau of Investigation will forward the results to the department for processing of your EMS provider application.


Fingerprint cards will be rejected if mailed to the 4300 Cherry Creek Drive address.


IMPORTANT: To allow for sufficient processing time, applicants should complete the fingerprinting process within 60 days before or after submitting their EMS provider application. Failure to submit an OATH application within 60 days of getting fingerprinted may require you to submit a new fingerprint-based background check with all of the associated fees.
