How North Dakota Attorney license verification works

A Attorney in North Dakota is licensed by the ND State Bar / Supreme Court attorney roll. 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: bar_number name status status_code admitted law_school business_address phone title.

Board note: ND-BAR live 2026-11-04: ndcourts.gov Lawyer Search (Orchard + DataTables). GET /lawyers/GetLawyers = whole roll as JSON (8,879 rows, status codes); GET /lawyers/<BarNum> = profile (Status printed for Active only; others read from the roll). 5-digit Bar IDs with leading zeros; unknown id → 404. No DOB → name-only >1 row = ambiguous_match.

What a Attorney license check returns

Field check	Passes when
`license_number`	Equal to the board's number, ignoring prefix and leading zeros
`name`	Last name or declared alias matches; first name exact or nickname
`license_type`	The record is a Attorney license, strictly (no near-miss types)
`status`	The board shows an active status; probation is active with a flag
`expires`	Expiration is on or after today, where the board publishes it
`disciplinary_actions`	Recorded and flagged with any order documents; never silently dropped

Verdicts: verified, discrepancy, not_found, unable_to_verify (with a reason), pending. See how verdicts are decided.
