How Montana Attorney license verification works

A Attorney in Montana is licensed by the MT 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.
