How Washington Real Estate Broker license verification works
A Real Estate Broker in Washington is licensed by the WA Real Estate Commission. 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: DOL 'License Lookup' (Salesforce Experience site, Aura component c:License_Lookup / Polaris_LicenseLookupController; guest Aura calls with aura.token=null over plain httpx). By-number search fetchProfessionTypeDetails(professionDetials='Real Estate', licenseNumber) → License_Search__c rows (exact number; Real Estate Broker / Managing Broker / schools & firms as Business rows), then professionalDetailsShow(License_Unique_Id__c) → Original_Issue/Issue/Expiration dates, Employee_Firm. WA has no salesperson licence (broker is entry level) so real_estate_agent maps to Broker/Managing Broker; appraiser → 'Appraisers - Real Estate' (Certified General/Residential, State Licensed; trainees excluded). The name search (Advanced Search) is behind a reCAPTCHA v2 checkbox (not bypassed) → name-only claims are unable_to_verify(insufficient_identifiers). Host omits the DigiCert G2 intermediate; connector bundles it. Data refreshed daily by 6am.
