How West Virginia Certified Nurse Aide license verification works

A Certified Nurse Aide in West Virginia is licensed by the WV Nurse Aide Registry. 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 status issued expires basis_of_registration training_program last_employer employment_start employment_end work_eligibility finding_statement city_state full_name.

Board note: WV-OHFLAC: OHFLAC Nurse Aide Registry 'Nurse Aide Verification' (ASP.NET MVC, plain HTTPS, no captcha). POST NALookup (RegistrationNumber | FirstName+LastName) → 302 to the Official Verification PDF (/Apps/PDF/NAVerification/<id>) for a number hit, to NAListing (Name, Registration Number, Status, City + PDF link per row) for names, or to NANotFound. The PDF (text via pypdf) prints status (Active / Lapsed), registration and expiration dates, basis, training program, last reported employment and the abuse/neglect/misappropriation finding statement.
