How Colorado Licensed Professional Counselor license verification works

A Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado is licensed by the CO 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: status expires issued effective license_type license_method compact board_actions documents other_licenses data_as_of.

Board note: DORA license dataset data.colorado.gov/7s5z-vewr (daily; rowsUpdatedAt 2026-11-03) queried live over SODA, then the Division's PrintLicenseDetails.aspx?cred=&contact= page (states primary source verification) as live evidence; the print page sits behind a Human Verification CAPTCHA after bursts (falls back to the dataset row); interactive LicenseLookup.aspx is FormShield image-CAPTCHA gated; captured 2026-11-03; CSW, LSW, LPC, MFT, PSY; addiction counselor (ACD/LAC) and behavior analyst codes not mapped (labels unverified)

What a Licensed Professional Counselor license check returns

Field check	Passes when
`license_number`	Equal to the board's number, ignoring prefix and leading zeros
`name`	Last name or declared alias matches; first name exact or nickname
`license_type`	The record is a Licensed Professional Counselor license, strictly (no near-miss types)
`status`	The board shows an active status; probation is active with a flag
`expires`	Expiration is on or after today, where the board publishes it
`disciplinary_actions`	Recorded and flagged with any order documents; never silently dropped

Verdicts: verified, discrepancy, not_found, unable_to_verify (with a reason), pending. See how verdicts are decided.

Counseling Compact and multistate Licensed Professional Counselor licenses

Licensed Professional Counselor licenses can carry a multistate privilege under the Counseling Compact. When the Colorado 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.
