General Information

PSID Numbers and Certification Verification

Adding Social Security Numbers to Acadis

To be compliant with the rules and regulations associated with the EMS Compact, which allows Indiana certified EMS personnel to practice in other EMS Compact member states, the EMS Division is required to collect Social Security numbers from all current license holders and new applicants. Indiana EMS personnel are asked to enter their Social Security number into their existing Acadis account. Only the last four digits will be visible and will be used for identity verification, particularly with the National EMS Coordinated Database.

Certification/Licensure Application Steps Through Acadis WebForms

Individuals seeking certification/licensure in Indiana (initial and reciprocity) need to complete an appropriate application. These steps are also for individuals seeking recertification based on a prior Indiana certification that expired more than 120 days ago.

  1. Log into the Acadis Portal.
  2. Select Academy Resources (left side of screen).
  3. Select WebForms.
  4. Find the appropriate EMS application.

After a WebForm application is submitted, the EMS Division will process it. Check your email and Acadis Portal account occasionally for any updates or communication.

Continuing Education/Renewal Before Expiration

If you completed your in-service prior to expiration, and it has been less than 120 days since expiration, you can submit your continuing education/renewal form and $50 reapplication fee. Only check, money order or certain credit cards are accepted (no cash).
