How Illinois Licensed Practical/Vocational Nurse license verification works

A Licensed Practical/Vocational Nurse 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.

Fields returned for this board: status expires issued effective license_type discipline_actions data_as_of.
