Firstly, Thank you for your service to our country. There has been an issue here in WV over a Deputy Sheriff having a tattoo. I posted a link, just some reading. http://www.newsandsentinel.com/page/content.detail/id/529293.html

I was under the impression with the online submission, when my STO validated the hours by "electronically signing" his portion of the form, that would be sufficient. I sent them copies of my cards, I did not get a course certificate with my ALS, PHTLS, etc. and apparently a valid card did not suit the needs of the National Registry. I guess it's just sour grapes on my part. None, and I mean none, of the other National Registry Paramedics I work with have ever had to submit copies of their course certificates, valid cards, and a signature of our STO had been approved. Edit-I can mail them two years worth of certificates, but that would be the size of a small paperback book.

My National Registry card expires on March 31, 2010. I completed the online portion of my recertification, my training officer verified my training electronically, had my medical director sign his part. Today I get a letter stating my "registration is being returned", the National Registry is wanting copies of all my certificates for my 48 hour refresher training. I mailed in copies my ACLS card, BLS card, PALS card, PEPP card, PHTLS card, ITLS card and a copy of my state EMS education record with my printed application with the correct signatures. My question is: Has the National Registry asked anyone here for copies of certificates, or a current valid card been sufficient? P.S. I had more than sufficient hours to cover my education hours, I am not trying to "cover" anything up, or fudge hours.
