This paper proposes the formalism of the stochastically quantized QED in terms of the local action. The renormalization constants and parameters of the theory are calculated in one loop approximation by tools of dimensional regularization. The theory is proved to be gauge-invariant renormalizable. The multiplicative renormalizability is shown to be possible only at the price of introducing the additional parameter into the kernels of the corresponding Langevin equations and noise correlations. In this case the renormalization of the electron mass and the photon wave-function coincides with that of the ordinary QED. The photon self-energy is transverse in the equilibrium limit.
