How Michigan Physician (MD) license verification works
A Physician (MD) in Michigan is licensed by the MI 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.

Interstate Medical Licensure Compact and multistate Physician (MD) licenses
Physician (MD) licenses can carry a multistate privilege under the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact. When the Michigan 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.
