How Colorado Physician Assistant license verification works
A Physician Assistant in Colorado is licensed by the CO 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: 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; DR covers MD and DO (degree not printed), PA

PA Licensure Compact and multistate Physician Assistant licenses
Physician Assistant licenses can carry a multistate privilege under the PA Licensure 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.
