How New York Psychologist license verification works
A Psychologist in New York is licensed by the NY Behavioral Health / Counseling & Social Work Boards. 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 license_number profession profession_code status date_of_licensure registered_through address_city address_state additional_qualifications additional_licenses school_name school_degree_date certificate_of_authorizations enforcement_actions disciplinary_summary.

PSYPACT and multistate Psychologist licenses
Psychologist licenses can carry a multistate privilege under the PSYPACT. 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.
