How District of Columbia Dental Hygienist license verification works
A Dental Hygienist in District of Columbia is licensed by the DC Dental 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 name license_type status issued expires temp_issued temp_expires city from_state actions.
Board note: DC Board of Dentistry on the DC Health portal: DENTIST, DENTAL HYGIENIST, DENTAL ASSISTANT levels I-III (teaching licences DENTIST/HYGIENIST - TEACH - CODA/NON CODA do not satisfy a full-licence claim).
