How Arizona Physician (MD) license verification works
A Physician (MD) in Arizona is licensed by the AZ Medical 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 license_type status issued effective expires actions license_history places_of_practice address previous_names other_registrations authorizations specialty.
Board note: do LIVE via the Board of Osteopathic Examiners' Thentia register (JSON: /rest/public/profile/search/ + /rest/public/profile/get/; register expiry = renew-by date, full licenses expire 4 months later). md + pa NOT live: Arizona Medical Board / Regulatory Board of PAs lookup (azmd.gov/DoctorSearch → azbomv7prod.glsuite.us GLSuite) answers Azure WAF 403 to every client and azmd.gov is Cloudflare-challenged.

Interstate Medical Licensure Compact and multistate Physician (MD) licenses
