How Vermont Attorney license verification works

A Attorney in Vermont is licensed by the VT State Bar / Supreme Court attorney roll. 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: bar_number name status admitted renewal_year expires.

Board note: VT-BAR live 2026-11-04 (dataset): Vermont Judiciary Office of Attorney Licensing publishes a monthly 'Attorneys in Good Standing' PDF (vtcourts.gov/media/759 → AttorneyGoodStanding_<n>.pdf, SSRS; 3,852 rows 11/1/2026: Active / Inactive / Pro Bono Emeritus, admitted, renewal year). No online lookup; suspended/disbarred attorneys are absent → not_found. Bar 9999 'TEST ATTORNEY' is a placeholder row. Freshness gate 45 days; tools/fetch_datasets.py --only VT-BAR.
