How Utah Teacher (state certificate) license verification works

A Teacher (state certificate) in Utah is licensed by the UT 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 name directors license_type status expires issued capacity conditional inspections flags.

Board note: childcare_provider only (teachers are USBE CACTUS, not covered). DHHS Office of Licensing public facility search provider.dlbc.utah.gov/ccl/facilities (React) over https://cclapi.dlbc.utah.gov/api/public/: POST facilities-search {facilityName} (substring on the facility name; all OL programme types, filtered by licenseTypeId) + GET facilities/<id> (idNumber F22-89681 = year prefix + facility id; unknown id answers HTTP 500 = not_found). Plain httpx, no captcha. Holder rule: licensed family / registered home programmes in the person's own name verify; centers verify only via the printed directors, else ambiguous_match.
