How Arkansas Paramedic license verification works

A Paramedic in Arkansas is licensed by the AR 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.

Board note: AR-EMS: Arkansas Department of Health, Section of EMS public personnel lookup on ImageTrend License Management (aremslicense.adh.arkansas.gov, enterprise 85291ed0…); open JSON API users/PublicLookupUser + getusercertifications, no reCAPTCHA; 5-digit numbers (30054); the certification category prints as 'Arkansas EMS Provider License'. Statuses seen: Current, Expired, Expired - Inactive. No DOB published (name-only >1 hit = ambiguous). Levels → emt/aemt/paramedic per the connector's PROFESSIONS map. Captured 2026-11-04; canary Dillion Brocksmith (EMT, Current, exp 2027-03-31).

EMS Compact (REPLICA) and multistate Paramedic licenses

Paramedic licenses can carry a multistate privilege under the EMS Compact (REPLICA). When the Arkansas 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.
