How Washington Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (NP/CNS) license verification works

A Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (NP/CNS) in Washington is licensed by the WA Board of Nursing. 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: credential_number name credential_type status issued last_issued expires ce_due birth_year multistate.

Board note: WA-DOH: data.wa.gov dataset qxh8-f4bd (DOH: 'primary source for verification of credentials', extracted daily 2am); SODA API per lookup, freshness gate 3 days; enforcement column withheld since fall 2026; DOH Provider Credential Search itself is Salesforce + CAPTCHA (blocked).
