Frequently Asked Questions
The professional's credential contains their license claims. Any verifier in any state can validate the cryptographic signature. You define which issuing boards you trust.
The licensing board revokes the credential. All future verifications return 'revoked' status with the reason. Real-time, no delay.
Yes. SD-JWT selective disclosure lets them share only relevant claims. A nurse applying for a hospital job shares their license status; a recruiter just sees 'licensed RN in CA'.
The credential can include CE completion status. When requirements are met, the issuer updates or re-issues the credential. Expiration dates are built-in.
Compact status is just another claim in the credential. Verifiers can check both the home state license and compact membership in one verification call.
