Emergency Medical Services System
(EMSS) for Licensing

The Wisconsin Division of Public Health uses an on-line information system for Emergency Medical Services licensing.  The EMSS system and its associated processes are owned and managed by the Division of Public Health.  EMSS is a password-protected, web-based application that requires all users to have a Wisconsin User ID.

EMSS access is available to Wisconsin-licensed ambulance service directors, Wisconsin-licensed ambulance service medical directors, and Wisconsin EMS training center supervisors and instructors.  Persons holding one or more of these roles are eligible to access and update information on-line.

Registered users can enter EMSS.
