How South Dakota Cosmetologist license verification works

A Cosmetologist in South Dakota is licensed by the SD 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 license_type expires name city state zip.

Board note: DLR Cosmetology Commission (ASP.NET; search is a plain GET LicenseListing.aspx?l=&ln=&fn=, detail LicenseDetail.aspx?l=&t=i). Cosmetologist / Esthetician / Nail Technician / instructors; barbers are the separate Board of Barber Examiners (not covered). Current licensees only; the number embeds the expiration year. Proved 2026-11-03.
