How Arizona Licensed Clinical Social Worker license verification works

A Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Arizona is licensed by the AZ Behavioral Health / Counseling & Social Work Boards. PrimaryCheck looks the license up live at the board's public verification system (board lookup) by license number, or by name when no number is supplied. The record the board publishes is captured as evidence, hashed, and rendered into a proof PDF.

Fields returned for this board: license_number name license_type status issued effective expires actions license_history places_of_practice address previous_names other_registrations authorizations city.

Social Work Licensure Compact and multistate Licensed Clinical Social Worker licenses
