Can a EMT transfer a license to Arkansas as a military spouse?
Not through the compact — Arkansas is not currently a EMS / Paramedic compact member. A military-spouse EMT relies on VAEIA 2022 / 50 U.S.C. § 4025a, which requires Arkansas to recognize a valid out-of-state license upon relocation for military orders.
Your state EMS licensing office in Arkansas
Arkansas grants automatic occupational licensure to the spouse of a uniformed service member stationed in Arkansas (and to a surviving spouse who establishes residency) who pays the applicable fees and holds either a current out-of-state EMS license of similar scope or a current NREMT certification, applying to EMT and paramedic licensure.
