How Arkansas Cosmetologist license verification works

A Cosmetologist in Arkansas is licensed by the AR Cosmetology / Barber 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 first_name last_name email city license_type status issued expires disciplinary_action.

Board note: AR-ADHCOSMO: Department of Health Cosmetology Section lookup (ASP.NET MVC grid, POST /LicenseLookupIndividual/Search, no captcha). cosmetologist = Cosmetologist, esthetician = Esthetician, nail_tech = Manicurist; instructors and student permits → license_type mismatch; barbers are the separate Board of Barber Examiners (not here). The site has NO licence-number search: every claim is a Name search for 'first last' filtered to the number/type, so a number held by someone else answers not_found with a note. Statuses: Active, Inactive, Expired. Live 2026-11-04.
