How New Jersey Licensed Practical/Vocational Nurse license verification works

A Licensed Practical/Vocational Nurse in New Jersey is licensed by the NJ Board of Nursing. 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 building.

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 Licensed Practical/Vocational Nurse license, strictly (no near-miss types)
statusThe board shows an active status; probation is active with a flag

Nurse Licensure Compact and multistate Licensed Practical/Vocational Nurse licenses

Licensed Practical/Vocational Nurse licenses can carry a multistate privilege under the Nurse Licensure Compact. When the New Jersey 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.
