How New Mexico Childcare Provider / Center license verification works

A Childcare Provider / Center in New Mexico is licensed by the NM 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 director program_type license_number address age_range hours background_check child_care_assistance star_level.

Board note: childcare_provider only (teachers are PED licensure, not covered). ECECD Child Care Finder: Phoenix LiveView search (program name OR licence number) runs in headless Chrome Agent (rung 2, no captcha/bot wall); each listing page is a plain GET (rung 1) printing License #, Program Setting (Licensed Family Home / Registered Home / Licensed Center), Program Director, address, hours. No status word or expiry (listed = currently licensed/registered). Name search is over program names only (directors not searchable); holder rule: verified only when the claimant is the program name or the printed director; centers with a stranger -> ambiguous_match. 2026-11-04.
