How Oklahoma Teacher (state certificate) license verification works

A Teacher (state certificate) in Oklahoma is licensed by the OK Childcare / Teacher Licensing. 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 vendor_id contract_number license_type director director_position capacity star_level ages_accepted hours_of_operation address_lines phone email accepts_subsidy flags monitoring_visits complaints licensing_worker.

Board note: childcare_provider only: OKDHS Child Care Locator (Next.js; plain httpx, rung 1). GET / for the buildId, /_next/data/<buildId>/providers.json (every licensed program: name, vendorId, facilityType, DBA, address) and /_next/data/<buildId>/providers/<vendorId>.json (contractNumber, directorFullName/position, licenseCapacity, starLevelCode, monitoringVisits with noncompliances, complaints, revocation/denial/emergency flags). No status word or expiry: presence on the Locator = licensed. Claim number = vendorId (K82… homes, K83… centers) or contract number. Holder rule: verified only as the home's own name or the printed director; centre + stranger -> ambiguous_match. Teachers are OSDE (not covered). Live 2026-11-04.
