How Michigan Certified Public Accountant license verification works

A Certified Public Accountant in Michigan is licensed by the MI Board of Accountancy. 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 issued expires county disciplinary_actions related_records.

Board note: Accela Citizen Access (MiPLUS), same connector as MI nursing; licence types mapped per profession in verify/connectors/mi_lara/connector.py

What a Certified Public Accountant 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 Certified Public Accountant 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.
