How California Real Estate Salesperson license verification works
A Real Estate Salesperson in California is licensed by the CA Real Estate Commission. 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.
