How Delaware Certified Public Accountant license verification works

A Certified Public Accountant in Delaware is licensed by the DE Board of Accountancy. 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 board licensed_by status issued effective expires multistate city state zip actions documents flags.

Board note: Board of Accountancy on DELPROS: C.P.A. Permit CA- (the permit to practice; C.P.A. Certificate is a separate record type).

What a Certified Public Accountant license check returns

`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 Certified Public Accountant 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
