The local law enforcement agency may be able to furnish the type of fingerprint card that Missouri uses. If it cannot, the applicant may request cards by calling Completed fingerprint cards are sent through the mail to the Bureau of EMS; the Bureau will review them before forwarding them to the Highway Patrol.

Missouri EMT-Bs are not required to maintain their national certification, though this is one option for renewal. Continued national certification can make the EMT credential more portable. EMT-Bs who are not nationally certified have a steep continuing education requirement: hours during each five-year period. They must meet minimum requirements in various core areas, including patient assessment; trauma; and OB, infants, and children.

Slightly over half of the continuing education requirement can be met through electives. A Missouri EMT can train at the intermediate level. It will be necessary to pursue another approved program and then complete examinations.
