How California Psychologist license verification works
A Psychologist in California is licensed by the CA Behavioral Health / Counseling & Social Work Boards. When this board is live, PrimaryCheck will query it directly for status, expiration and disciplinary actions and attach the board's record as evidence. Until then the API answers honestly with unable_to_verify and the reason, and the coverage endpoint reports this row as blocked.
What a Psychologist 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 Psychologist 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.
PSYPACT and multistate Psychologist licenses
Psychologist licenses can carry a multistate privilege under the PSYPACT. When the California 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.
