How Mississippi Attorney license verification works

A Attorney in Mississippi is licensed by the MS State Bar / Supreme Court attorney roll. 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 status admission_date license_status firm city state county phone.

Board note: MS-BAR live 2026-11-04: The Mississippi Bar lawyer directory hosted on ReliaGuide (msbar.org/lawyer-directory redirects there); plain httpx JSON GET /api/public/profiles?lastName.contains=&firstName.contains=&size=20&page= (x-total-count header; filters use dotted operators). licenses[].registrationNumber is null for every member seen, so no bar number is published (FieldCheck match=None); verification is name + memberType (Active/Inactive/...) + MS admission date.

What a Attorney 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 Attorney 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.
