How Maine Physician (MD) license verification works
A Physician (MD) in Maine is licensed by the ME Medical 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: license_number license_type status expires first_licensure mailing history actions cases other_licenses general.
Board note: ALMS regulators 376 (Board of Licensure in Medicine: MEDICAL DOCTOR, PHYSICIAN ASSOCIATE) and 383 (Osteopathic Licensure: DOCTOR OF OSTEOPATHIC MEDICINE, PHYSICIAN ASSOCIATE); a PA claim searches both. Detail adds self-reported NPI, education, specialties (ABMS), business address. Proven live 2026-11-03 (MD24514).
