How Arkansas Psychologist license verification works

A Psychologist in Arkansas is licensed by the AR Behavioral Health / Counseling & Social Work Boards. 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 original_issued effective expires places_of_practice previous_names actions license_history.

Board note: lpc/lmft: ar_abecmft (Thentia). lcsw/lmsw: ar_adh (ADH Social Work Licensing Board roster, postID 4791, GET /wp-json/metl/v1/all; levels LCSW/LMSW/LSW/PLMSW/PLSW; no status column, expiration governs; disc flag). psychologist: ar_statesolutions. lada: no online lookup. bcba: not found.

Psychologist licenses can carry a multistate privilege under the PSYPACT. When the Arkansas 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.
