How Pennsylvania Advanced EMT license verification works

A Advanced EMT in Pennsylvania is licensed by the PA EMS Office. 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 county_state license_type license_number status emsvo issued expires administrative_actions regional_council.

Board note: PA-EMS: Bureau of EMS 'EMS Registry' certification verification (ASP.NET WebForms, plain HTTPS, no captcha; page states it is a primary source). Search by certification number (6-7 digits, leading zeros) or name + level; grid 10/page then a Select postback for the detail (status, EMSVO, issue/expiration, Administrative Actions Yes/No flag - never auto-failed). No DOB published; name-only >1 hit = ambiguous. Also lists EMR, PHRN, PHPE, PHP, EMSVO, MC Physician.

EMS Compact (REPLICA) and multistate Advanced EMT licenses

Advanced EMT licenses can carry a multistate privilege under the EMS Compact (REPLICA). When the Pennsylvania 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.
