How North Dakota Childcare Provider / Center license verification works

A Childcare Provider / Center in North Dakota is licensed by the ND 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 contact license_number license_type issued expires deactivated capacity quality_rating accreditations county city.

Board note: childcare_provider via ND-HHS-ECSEARCH: HHS Early Childhood 'Find Child Care' search (search.ec.hhs.nd.gov, NWN Insight CARE Angular SPA run with Child Care Aware ND). Public JSON API without a token: POST /api/programs/search/programsPublicSearch {filters:{name}} (matches program and contact names; no licence-number filter) and GET /api/programs/<id> (orgName, contactName, licenseNumber / formattedLicenseNumber, facilityType, licenseEffectiveBegin/EndDate, capacity, quality rating, deactivated, every profile attribute). Family / Group Child Care Home licences are in the person's name; centers/facilities carry the contact. A licence number is resolved through the claimant's name search. Self-Declared / In Home / Approved Relative = not licensed (license_type mismatch). Teachers are ESPB (not covered).
