How Illinois Certified Nurse Midwife license verification works

A Certified Nurse Midwife in Illinois is licensed by the IL Board of Nursing. 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.
