How Arizona Paramedic license verification works

A Paramedic in Arizona is licensed by the AZ EMS Office. 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 license_type status issued expires national_ems_id certifications full_name suffix user_status_name.

Board note: AZ-EMS: Arizona Department of Health Services, Bureau of EMS & Trauma System public personnel lookup on ImageTrend License Management (ems.azdhs.gov, enterprise 8f390be7…); open JSON API users/PublicLookupUser + getusercertifications, no reCAPTCHA; EMCT numbers are the letter E + 8 digits (E74679837); rows carry user_status_name; the legacy bemstsadmin.azdhs.gov 'EMCT Profile Search' is login-only. Statuses seen: Current, Current - AZ Only, Inactive. No DOB published (name-only >1 hit = ambiguous). Levels → emt/aemt/paramedic per the connector's PROFESSIONS map.

What a Paramedic license check returns

Field check	Passes when
`license_number`	Equal to the board's number, ignoring prefix and leading zeros
`name`	Last name or declared alias matches; first name exact or nickname
`license_type`	The record is a Paramedic license, strictly (no near-miss types)
`status`	The board shows an active status; probation is active with a flag
`expires`	Expiration is on or after today, where the board publishes it
`disciplinary_actions`	Recorded and flagged with any order documents; never silently dropped

Verdicts: verified, discrepancy, not_found, unable_to_verify (with a reason), pending. See how verdicts are decided.

EMS Compact (REPLICA) and multistate Paramedic licenses

Paramedic licenses can carry a multistate privilege under the EMS Compact (REPLICA). When the Arizona record shows a multistate license, the result includes multistate: true and the privilege states. Privilege status is confirmed at the compact's own lookup, never inferred.
