Can a EMT transfer a license to Kansas as a military spouse?
Yes. Kansas is a member of the Recognition of EMS Personnel Licensure Interstate CompAct (REPLICA), so a EMT holding a multistate/compact license can practice in KS without re-applying. REPLICA covers cross-state response privileges, not full license portability for routine employment. Spouses moving permanently may need state license + VAEIA portability.

Under K.S.A. 48-3406, the Board of EMS is a state licensing body that must issue an EMS certification within 15 days to a military spouse who is already licensed or certified in another state, waiving the standard process.
