Can a EMT transfer a license to Florida as a military spouse?
Not through the compact — Florida is not currently a EMS / Paramedic compact member. A military-spouse EMT relies on VAEIA 2022 / 50 U.S.C. § 4025a, which requires Florida to recognize a valid out-of-state license upon relocation for military orders.

The Florida Department of Health EMT and Paramedic Certification program offers a Military Veteran or Spouse Fee Waiver Request Form that waives certification fees for eligible spouses of active-duty military members applying for EMT or paramedic certification.
