How Mississippi Teacher (state certificate) license verification works

A Teacher (state certificate) in Mississippi is licensed by the MS Childcare / Teacher Licensing. 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 status issued expires capacity type services ages_served hours site_visits investigations monetary_penalties.

Board note: childcare_provider via MS-MSDH-CHILDCARE: MSDH Child Care Facilities Licensure 'Find Child Care Provider' (ASP.NET WebForms, plain httpx). Provider-name substring search (btnFind) → lstProviders cards (name, address, phone, e-mail, type Home based / Center based / Youth Camp, MDHS subsidy) → per-row postbacks: License and Services (License Number e.g. 41RGPF-8725, Capacity, Status 'ACTIVE (from - to)' / PENDING), Site Visits (date, Pass/Fail, document), Investigations, Monetary Penalties. No licence-number search: a claimed number is checked on the providers matching the claimant's last name (a number held under another name answers not_found). Home-based licence in the claimant's own name → verified; another person's home → discrepancy; center (no director printed) → ambiguous_match. Failed visits / investigations / penalties are flags. Teachers are MDE licensure (not covered).
