How Colorado Attorney license verification works

A Attorney in Colorado is licensed by the CO State Bar / Supreme Court attorney roll. 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: bar_number name status status_note admission_date firm private_practice business_address phone fax discipline_history insurance_disclosure.

Board note: co_bar live 2026-11-04 (plain httpx, WordPress OARC attorney search). Profile GET attorney-information/?regnum=N needs no nonce; name search = GET form nonce + POST attorney-search-results (substring on last name); no DOB so name-only >1 row = ambiguous_match. Public Disciplinary History table parsed into record.discipline_history. Fallback client must be the repo's rung-1 client (a bare httpx client gets 403); canary passes via tools/run_canaries.py.

What a Attorney 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 Attorney 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.
