How Iowa Physical Therapist license verification works
A Physical Therapist in Iowa is licensed by the IA Physical Therapy Board. 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 board license_type status previous_status expires issued disciplinary_action city.
Board note: DIAL Professional Licensure portal (former HHS BPL) AMANDA JSON API (ibplrest publicsearchSP_IBPL; AES-ECB responses). Number or first+last name; 30 rows/page; license numbers are per board and zero-padded.
What a Physical Therapist 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 Physical Therapist 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.
PT Compact and multistate Physical Therapist licenses
Physical Therapist licenses can carry a multistate privilege under the PT Compact. When the Iowa record shows a multistate license, the result includes multistate: true and the privilege states. Privilege status is confirmed at the compact's own lookup, never inferred.
