How Virginia Physical Therapist license verification works
A Physical Therapist in Virginia is licensed by the VA Physical Therapy 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 name occupation status issued expires address public_information.
Board note: VA-DHP: Virginia Interactive license lookup; GET /Lookup/Detail/<10-digit no.> direct, name search POST per occupation; no DOB; 'Additional Public Information' flags enforcement documents (never auto-fail). Primary source per the page.
What a Physical Therapist license check returns
| Field check | Passes when |
|---|---|
license_number | Equal to the board's number, ignoring prefix and leading zeros |
name | Last name or declared alias matches; first name exact or nickname |
license_type | The record is a Physical Therapist license, strictly (no near-miss types) |
status | The board shows an active status; probation is active with a flag |
expires | Expiration is on or after today, where the board publishes it |
disciplinary_actions | Recorded 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.
PT Compact and multistate Physical Therapist licenses
Physical Therapist licenses can carry a multistate privilege under the PT Compact. 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.
