How Ohio Barber license verification works
A Barber in Ohio is licensed by the OH 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 name board license_type status sub_status sub_category board_action issued effective expires compact address endorsements specialties national_certifications.
