How Kansas Licensed Professional Counselor license verification works

A Licensed Professional Counselor 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.

What a Licensed Professional Counselor license check returns

Field check	Passes when
`license_number`	Equal to the board's number, ignoring prefix and leading zeros
`name`	Last name or declared alias matches; first name exact or nickname
`license_type`	The record is a Licensed Professional Counselor license, strictly (no near-miss types)
`status`	The board shows an active status; probation is active with a flag
`expires`	Expiration is on or after today, where the board publishes it
`disciplinary_actions`	Recorded and flagged with any order documents; never silently dropped

Verdicts: verified, discrepancy, not_found, unable_to_verify (with a reason), pending. See how verdicts are decided.

Counseling Compact and multistate Licensed Professional Counselor licenses

Licensed Professional Counselor licenses can carry a multistate privilege under the Counseling Compact. 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.
