How Arkansas Certified Public Accountant license verification works

A Certified Public Accountant in Arkansas is licensed by the AR 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.

Fields returned for this board: license_number full_name license_type status issued renewed expires city_state_zip discipline_result discipline_date discipline_document.

Detail page: name, number, type, address, current status, original / renewed / expiration dates; grid adds Disciplinary Actions columns.
