How West Virginia Emergency Medical Technician license verification works

A Emergency Medical Technician in West Virginia is licensed by the WV 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 license_type status issued expires national_ems_id certifications full_name suffix.

EMS Compact (REPLICA) and multistate Emergency Medical Technician licenses

When the West 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.
