How Virginia Home Inspector license verification works

A Home Inspector in Virginia is licensed by the VA Contractor Licensing 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: license_number name license_description rank type specialties status issued expires address.

Board note: VA-DPOR: dporweb.dpor.virginia.gov LicenseLookup (Java app; reCAPTCHA on the page but not enforced server-side; honeypot 'phone-number' must stay empty). POST LicenseDetail by 10-digit number; AdvancedSearch by name+board+license type. Contractor/tradesman records print no status (expiration governs, status check = None); real-estate records print Status.

What a Home Inspector 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 Home Inspector 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.
