How Pennsylvania Occupational Therapy Assistant license verification works

A Occupational Therapy Assistant in Pennsylvania is licensed by the PA Occupational Therapy 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.

`name`	Last name or declared alias matches; first name exact or nickname
`license_type`	The record is a Occupational Therapy Assistant license, strictly (no near-miss types)
`status`	The board shows an active status; probation is active with a flag

OT Licensure Compact and multistate Occupational Therapy Assistant licenses
