How Maryland Licensed Practical/Vocational Nurse license verification works
A Licensed Practical/Vocational Nurse in Maryland is licensed by the MD 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: name license_number license_type status sub_status issued expires renewed compact_status obtained_by original_state education discipline_flag documents.
