How Illinois Occupational Therapy Assistant license verification works

A Occupational Therapy Assistant in Illinois is licensed by the IL Occupational Therapy 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 expires issued effective license_type discipline_actions data_as_of.
