How Delaware Teacher (state certificate) license verification works

A Teacher (state certificate) in Delaware is licensed by the DE 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.

Fields returned for this board: license_number license_type status enforcement_action intent_notice capacity ages address city county phone violations flags.

Board note: childcare_provider via DE-OCCL-CHILDCARE: DSCYF OCCL 'Licensed Child Care Providers and Facilities' dataset iuzd-3dbt (daily) + 'Child Care Licensing Compliance Review Information' wb83-pkcv (cited regulations per licence). Family / large family child care licences are in the person's name: verified only when the licence is in the claimant's own name; centers → ambiguous_match. Suspended / Revoked = inactive; probation-type actions flagged. Teachers are DOE DEEDS (not covered).
