How Virginia Advanced EMT license verification works

A Advanced EMT in Virginia is licensed by the VA EMS Office. 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 middle_initial expires license_type city_county alsc_exp_date eoi_exp_date ec_exp_date affiliation.

Board note: VA-OEMS: Office of EMS Provider Search (Oracle APEX 24.2 classic-report ajax, plain HTTPS, no captcha; VDH calls it primary source verification). Lists CURRENT certifications only - a lapsed certification looks like not_found (note on the result). Number prefix letter = level (B EMT, C AEMT, E Paramedic), matches with or without the letter. 50 rows/page; no DOB; no status or enforcement columns (OEMS enforcement actions are a separate search).

What a Advanced EMT license check returns

Field checkPasses when
license_numberEqual to the board's number, ignoring prefix and leading zeros
nameLast name or declared alias matches; first name exact or nickname
license_typeThe record is a Advanced EMT license, strictly (no near-miss types)
statusThe board shows an active status; probation is active with a flag
expiresExpiration is on or after today, where the board publishes it
disciplinary_actionsRecorded and flagged with any order documents; never silently dropped

Verdicts: verified, discrepancy, not_found, unable_to_verify (with a reason), pending. See how verdicts are decided.

EMS Compact (REPLICA) and multistate Advanced EMT licenses

Advanced EMT licenses can carry a multistate privilege under the EMS Compact (REPLICA). When the Virginia record shows a multistate license, the result includes multistate: true and the privilege states. Privilege status is confirmed at the compact's own lookup, never inferred.
