How Iowa Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist license verification works

A Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Iowa is licensed by the IA Behavioral Health / Counseling & Social Work Boards. 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 board license_type status previous_status expires issued disciplinary_action city.

Board note: DIAL Professional Licensure portal (ibplrest): Social Work (lcsw = Independent Level, lmsw = Masters Level), Behavioral Science (lpc = Mental Health Counselor, lmft, bcba = Behavior Analyst), Psychology. lada (alcohol & drug counselor) is a certification outside DIAL — not covered.
