How Texas Teacher (state certificate) license verification works

A Teacher (state certificate) in Texas is licensed by the TX 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: license_number operation_id license_type issuance status issued capacity ages administrator address city county inspections violations flags.

Board note: childcare_provider via TX-HHS-CCL: HHSC Child Care Regulation operations dataset bc5r-88dy (daily; public search childcare.hhs.texas.gov is a React SPA over the same DB) + non-compliance dataset tqgd-mf4x for cited standards. Permit is held by the operation: verified only when the claimant is the home's operation name or the printed administrator/director, else ambiguous_match. Teachers are TEA (not covered).
