How Vermont Teacher (state certificate) license verification works

A Teacher (state certificate) in Vermont is licensed by the VT 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: license_number provider_id license_type license_class status issued expires capacity stars address city county phone email.

Board note: childcare_provider via VT-CDD-CHILDCARE: DCF Child Development Division 'Vermont Child Care Provider Data' dataset ctdw-tmfz (monthly; Bright Futures public search renders the same records). FCCH licences / registrations are in the person's name ('Last, First'): verified only when in the claimant's own name; CBCCPP / afterschool programs → ambiguous_match; current_license_end_date past → discrepancy. Teachers are AOE (not covered).
