How Nebraska Childcare Provider / Center license verification works

A Childcare Provider / Center in Nebraska is licensed by the NE 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: name owner license_number license_type provisional effective_date capacity ages hours days_open subsidy step_up_to_quality accredited address county.

Board note: childcare_provider via NE-DHHS-CCROSTER: DHHS Licensure Unit 'Roster of Licensed Child Care and Preschool Programs' PDF (dhhs.ne.gov/licensure/Documents/ChildCareRoster.pdf, updated weekly, Date of Printing on every page; 2,607 licences 2026-10-30), parsed from pypdf layout text (licence FI/FII/CCC/SAOC/PRE + number, provider name, owner/licensee, type incl. Provisional, effective date, address, capacity, hours, subsidy flags, Step Up To Quality, accredited). Presence = licensed; no expiry; freshness gate 21 days. The LIS search (nebraska.gov/LISSearch) runs reCAPTCHA v3 on every search (not used); the gis.ne.gov feature layer's Roster_Date is 2025-10-15 (stale). Family Child Care Home I/II = person (owner); centers/preschools = organisation → ambiguous_match. Teachers are NDE (not covered).
