How Connecticut Licensed Practical/Vocational Nurse license verification works

A Licensed Practical/Vocational Nurse in Connecticut is licensed by the CT Board of Nursing. 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 status_reason issued effective expires city state zip record_refreshed_on.

Board note: State Licenses and Credentials dataset (data.ct.gov ngch-56tr, daily export of eLicense): RN type 10, LPN 11, APRN 12 (+ nurse midwife 16). Interactive eLicense lookup is CAPTCHA-gated (Cavu image captcha + F5 TSPD), not used. No DOB, no discipline detail (statusreason only).
