recruiters, in-house talent acquisition teams, and credentialing staff who need a repeatable way to confirm an occupational therapist&#8217;s <strong>license status<\/strong> across states without slowing down submittals.<\/p>\n<p>Occupational therapy licensure is issued state by state, and each board&#8217;s portal behaves a little differently. A consistent workflow matters more than any single tool.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Quick_answer\"><\/span>Quick answer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<dl>\n<dt>Core answer<\/dt>\n<dd>Use each state board&#8217;s public verification page to confirm an OT&#8217;s license number and license status, capture the expiration date if it&#8217;s shown, and log the source URL and the date you checked it.<\/dd>\n<dt>Key insight<\/dt>\n<dd>Most verification failures trace back to missing audit trail details \u2014 no source URL, no date logged, no exact status label \u2014 or to name-only matches that don&#8217;t uniquely identify the candidate.<\/dd>\n<dt>Best for<\/dt>\n<dd>Recruiters who need to verify OTs quickly and defend that verification later.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>Compliance &amp; safety<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This method is for legitimate recruiting outreach only. Respect candidate privacy, opt-out requests, and applicable data laws. Heartbeat does not provide medical advice or legal counsel.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_audit_trail_rule_log_source_URL_date\"><\/span>The audit trail rule: log source URL + date<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Treat every occupational therapist license lookup like a record you might need to defend later \u2014 a client audit, an internal QA review, or a credentialing check. Three things keep a team aligned on this:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Source URL:<\/strong> the exact verification page you used, not just the board&#8217;s homepage.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Date checked:<\/strong> the date you viewed the record.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Captured fields:<\/strong> credential type shown, license number, license status label, expiration if shown, and any public discipline indicators the page displays.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This costs a little more time per candidate up front. In exchange, you stop redoing checks and you avoid the &#8220;we can&#8217;t prove it&#8221; conversation with a client months later.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-by-step_method\"><\/span>Step-by-step method<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Confirm_which_state_or_states_matter_for_the_job\"><\/span>Step 1: Confirm which state or states matter for the job<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>The state where the OT will actually practice (facility location).<\/li>\n<li>Any additional states required by the client&#8217;s onboarding policy.<\/li>\n<li>States the candidate claims licensure in, only if relevant to the placement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Use_the_official_state_verification_tool_not_a_third-party_directory\"><\/span>Step 2: Use the official state verification tool, not a third-party directory<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Go directly to the state&#8217;s occupational therapy licensing board and find the public verification tool \u2014 usually labeled &#8220;Verify a License,&#8221; &#8220;License Lookup,&#8221; or &#8220;License Search.&#8221; Search by license number whenever possible. Name-only searches can return several matches for common names.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Capture_the_minimum_fields_every_time\"><\/span>Step 3: Capture the minimum fields, every time<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Credential type shown<\/strong> \u2014 confirm it&#8217;s occupational therapist if the portal lists multiple credential types<\/li>\n<li><strong>License number<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>License status<\/strong> \u2014 the exact label as shown<\/li>\n<li><strong>Expiration date<\/strong>, if shown<\/li>\n<li><strong>Discipline or public order indicator<\/strong>, if shown<\/li>\n<li><strong>Source URL<\/strong> or navigation path, if the URL is session-based<\/li>\n<li><strong>Date checked<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In this workflow, &#8220;verified&#8221; means: license number match, license status label captured, source URL or path logged, and date logged.
