How Massachusetts Cosmetologist license verification works

A Cosmetologist in Massachusetts is licensed by the MA Cosmetology / Barber Board. When this board is live, PrimaryCheck will query it directly for status, expiration and disciplinary actions and attach the board's record as evidence. Until then the API answers honestly with unable_to_verify and the reason, and the coverage endpoint reports this row as blocked.

What a Cosmetologist license check returns

Field checkPasses when
license_numberEqual to the board's number, ignoring prefix and leading zeros
nameLast name or declared alias matches; first name exact or nickname
license_typeThe record is a Cosmetologist license, strictly (no near-miss types)
statusThe board shows an active status; probation is active with a flag
expiresExpiration is on or after today, where the board publishes it
disciplinary_actionsRecorded 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.
