How New York Esthetician license verification works

A Esthetician in New York is licensed by the NY Cosmetology / Barber Board. 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 license_holder_name license_effective_term license_expiration_date.

Board note: NY-DOS-OPEN: Department of State Division of Licensing Services licence file 'Active Appearance Enhancement and Barber Individual Licenses' on Open NY (data.ny.gov ucu3-8265, 224,531 rows, refreshed daily; the Division's own lcns_public search page points licence checks to the License Center and to this Open NY file + API).
