How New York Physician Assistant license verification works
A Physician Assistant in New York is licensed by the NY Medical 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.

PA Licensure Compact and multistate Physician Assistant licenses
Physician Assistant licenses can carry a multistate privilege under the PA Licensure Compact. When the New York record shows a multistate license, the result includes multistate: true and the privilege states. Privilege status is confirmed at the compact's own lookup, never inferred.
