Verify professional licenses with the issuing board.
Confirms a professional license is current and unencumbered at the issuing board — nurses, CPAs, real estate, trades, physicians. Primary-source verification means asking the board, not collecting a certificate PDF.
Also called license check, license primary source verification, board verification.

What it covers
License number, class, status, expiration, and disciplinary flags as the board publishes them- Primary-source verification when the package and board allow it
Healthcare credentialing standards often specify primary source, and DataFacts, JDP, iProspect, and others run board checks as a volume product. Point-in-time verification answers today; license monitoring answers next quarter, when the board acts and nobody tells you.
What it covers
- License number, class, status, expiration, and disciplinary flags as the board publishes them
- Primary-source verification when the package and board allow it
What it doesn’t cover
Guarantee future standing — that is monitoring- Prove competence beyond the credential

Where the data comes from.
Issuing-board registries and primary-source channels
Online boards are fast; some still want a letter.
Why identity comes first.
Borrowed credentials are a healthcare classic. vID binds the person; the board check binds the credential.
How the network fulfills it.
Network partners handle multi-state compacts, expired-but-renewable licenses, and disciplinary overlays every day. That beats a generalist clicking a lookup.
This is the wrong search if…
The role is not licensed
Skip it. A license check on an unlicensed job is a blank report you paid for.
Commonly ordered with.
- License monitoring
The board will not call you when they act.
