How Mississippi Licensed Clinical Social Worker license verification works

A Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Mississippi is licensed by the MS Behavioral Health / Counseling & Social Work Boards. 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 sub_status issued expires.

Social Work Licensure Compact and multistate Licensed Clinical Social Worker licenses
