How Michigan Licensed Practical/Vocational Nurse license verification works

A Licensed Practical/Vocational Nurse in Michigan is licensed by the MI Board of Nursing. 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: name license_number license_type status issued expires county controlled_substance disciplinary_actions related_records.

Board note: Accela Citizen Access (MiPLUS); by number: GET LicenseeDetail.aspx?LicenseeNumber= works with empty LicenseeType; by name: async UpdatePanel postback, 50 rows/page; APRN is not a separate MI licence (rn covers it); no DOB
