How Alabama Certified Public Accountant license verification works

A Certified Public Accountant in Alabama is licensed by the AL Board of Accountancy. 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.
