How Maine Registered Nurse license verification works
A Registered Nurse in Maine is licensed by the ME Board of Nursing. 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 expires first_licensure mailing history actions cases other_licenses general.

Nurse Licensure Compact and multistate Registered Nurse licenses
Registered Nurse licenses can carry a multistate privilege under the Nurse Licensure Compact. When the Maine 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.
