How Hawaii Teacher (state certificate) license verification works

A Teacher (state certificate) in Hawaii is licensed by the HI Childcare / Teacher Licensing. 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 service_type status issued expires capacity provider_name accreditations license_history status_history.

Board note: childcare_provider via HI-DHS-CCPS: DHS Child Care Provider Search (Power Pages). The page calls two Power Automate HTTP triggers directly (plain JSON POST, no token/captcha): search {ProviderName (>=3 chars, substring of licensee or facility name), ZipCode, Areas, Type…} → providers (providerType CG caregiver / OR organisation) with services; detail {serviceId} → summary (licenseNumber, licenseType R Regular / P Provisional, licensed, effective/expiration, capacity, service type 01–12), details (address, hours, accreditations), history (status + licence history). Licence numbers are not searchable: a number claim searches the claimant's last name and matches licenseNumber on the candidates' details (≤8). Homes (CG) are licensed to the caregiver → verified when the claimant is the provider name; organisation licences → ambiguous_match. Teachers are HTSB (403 to plain GET, not covered).
