How Kansas Licensed Master Social Worker license verification works

A Licensed Master Social Worker in Kansas is licensed by the KS 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 license_type license_class status issued expires renewed last_action aliases disciplinary_actions.

Board note: KS-BSRB: Behavioral Sciences Regulatory Board MyLicense verification (plain httpx, no captcha). One board for lcsw (LSCSW), lmsw (LMSW), lpc (LCPC/LPC), lmft (LCMFT/LMFT), psychologist (LP; LMLP master's level and LCP clinical psychotherapist are other levels), lada (LCAC/LMAC/LAC), bcba (LBA; LABA assistant). Numbers are '<LEVEL> <digits>' and the number box needs that exact form (digits-only claims are tried under each level). Provisional/Temporary classes flagged for review. Live 2026-11-03.

Social Work Licensure Compact and multistate Licensed Master Social Worker licenses

When the Kansas record shows a multistate license, the result includes multistate: true and the privilege states. Privilege status is confirmed at the compact's own lookup, never inferred.
