How Florida Dentist license verification works
A Dentist in Florida is licensed by the FL 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: status standing multistate expires issued discipline+documents public_complaints emergency_actions data_as_of.
Board note: rung 1 (plain POST, MQA search services). mqa-internet.doh.state.fl.us timed out (90 s) during the 03:xx ET sweep 2026-11-04 after passing at 22:30 and 02:40 — host outage; nightly canary auto-degrades if it persists
What a Dentist 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 Dentist 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.
Dentist and Dental Hygienist Compact and multistate Dentist licenses
Dentist licenses can carry a multistate privilege under the Dentist and Dental Hygienist Compact. When the Florida 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.
