How Georgia Attorney license verification works

A Attorney in Georgia is licensed by the GA State Bar / Supreme Court attorney roll. 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: bar_number name status status_type admitted birth_date law_school address city county circuit phone email admission_method other_states discipline_count sections.

Board note: ga_bar live 2026-11-04 (JSON API api.gabar.org/webservices/membersearch?barNumber=|firstName=&lastName=&top=25, POST with the same JSON body; found in the member-directory Vue module). Members carry birthDate + admitDate + disciplineCount; socialSec dropped from the record. Only 'Active Member in Good Standing' is eligible (GetDirectoryInfo status vocabulary mirrored in the connector). person.dob narrows name hits; else >1 hit = ambiguous_match.

What a Attorney 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 Attorney 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.
