Card, you must have a picture already uploaded to your Continuum profile. The Bureau can not
upload any pictures. Pictures can be uploaded to Continuum by the agency’s Primary Contact,
EMS Director, and Training Officer. Training institutions also have the ability to upload photos
of students that may not be currently attached to an agency. The picture must be similar to a
picture that you would see on a drivers’ license. The picture must be the individual being
certified. Should the picture be deemed “inappropriate” by the Bureau, your ID Card will not be
issued.
