How District of Columbia Pharmacist license verification works

A Pharmacist in District of Columbia is licensed by the DC Board of Pharmacy. 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 name license_type status issued expires temp_issued temp_expires city from_state actions.

Board note: DC Board of Pharmacy on the DC Health portal: PHARMACIST, PHARMACY TECHNICIAN (trainees are a separate type and do not satisfy the claim). Some closed records carry license number NULL.

What a Pharmacist 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 Pharmacist 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.
