How Washington Cosmetologist license verification works
A Cosmetologist in Washington is licensed by the WA Cosmetology / Barber 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 prior_name license_type status sub_status disciplinary_flag expires issued original_issued employer_firm city county postal_code.
Board note: WA-DOL live 2026-11-04 (same connector as real_estate): profession picklist 'Cosmetology'; credential types Cosmetologist, Barber, Esthetician, Master Esthetician, Manicurist (nail_tech), Hair Designer, Instructor, salons as Business rows. One number can carry several credentials of the same person (20000 → Barber + Esthetician + Manicurist + Cosmetologist); the claimed profession's row is judged. By number only (name search is reCAPTCHA-gated, not bypassed).
