How to interpret the result
| Field | Meaning | Risk to avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Utah credential type | Confirm the exact credential among RN, LPN, APRN, CRNA, Medication Aide; the same person may hold more than one license, approval, certificate or permit. | For Utah, treating an RN result as proof of APRN, assistant, certificate, permit or prescriptive authority. |
| Current status | Read the exact status wording published by Utah Division of Professional Licensing — Nursing, including active, inactive, expired, lapsed, probationary, suspended, revoked or restricted. | For Utah, assuming that a record appearing in search means the person may currently practice. |
| Expiration / renewal timing | Biennial on alternating credential years. RN: January 31 in odd-numbered years. LPN: January 31 in even-numbered years. | For Utah, using a wallet card, employer roster or old screenshot instead of the live record. |
| Multistate designation | Utah is recorded as an operational Nurse Licensure Compact jurisdiction in this dataset. Verify that the individual public record is actually designated multistate and that the nurse maintains Utah or another qualifying compact state as the primary state of residence. | For Utah, assuming compact membership automatically makes every license multistate or survives a permanent residence move. |
| Public discipline or restrictions | Review public orders or restrictions linked by Utah Division of Professional Licensing — Nursing, Utah Division license verification or Nursys when applicable. | Checking only expiration while ignoring conditions that limit practice. |
| Verification date | The result supports a decision as of the date it was checked. Record the live Utah verification date. | For Utah, reusing an undated or stale printout for a new employment or credentialing decision. |
