How Connecticut Teacher (state certificate) license verification works

A Teacher (state certificate) in Connecticut is licensed by the CT Childcare / Teacher Licensing. 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.
