How North Carolina Dental Assistant (registered/expanded function) license verification works

A Dental Assistant (registered/expanded function) in North Carolina is licensed by the NC Dental 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.

Fields returned for this board: name license_type license_number status issued expires board_action location permits.

Board note: NC-DENTAL: portal.ncdentalboard.org Licensee Search (ASP.NET WebForms, plain httpx rung 1, no captcha). Covers dds (ddLicType=DEN) and rdh (HYG); dental_assistant is NOT searchable on this portal (License Type list has only Dentist / Hygienist). POST search.aspx -> results.aspx with every record inline (name, location, board action + viewer link, hygiene local anesthesia, license type/#/issued/expiration/status, dental anesthesia + sedation permits); footer 'current as of' stamp. Status vocabulary seen: Current (active), Expired, Deceased. Name search is a contains match; the same number exists for a dentist and a hygienist, so by-number lookups filter by license type. Site states it is a primary source.
