How South Carolina Licensed Professional Counselor license verification works

A Licensed Professional Counselor in South Carolina is licensed by the SC Behavioral Health / Counseling & Social Work Boards. 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 blocked.

What a Licensed Professional Counselor 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 Licensed Professional Counselor 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.

Counseling Compact and multistate Licensed Professional Counselor licenses

Licensed Professional Counselor licenses can carry a multistate privilege under the Counseling Compact. When the South Carolina 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.
