Draft pending source QA
This page cites the current Eazelo source inventory and is held out of search indexing until an official-source review confirms the source covers New York nurse practitioners.
What You Can Verify
Eazelo checks public identity evidence from NPPES/NPI and then attempts to reconcile that evidence with the mapped New York licensing source. The proof report can include NPI status, taxonomy, public practice-location context, state license evidence, source URLs, timestamps, and a checksum.
Nurse practitioner licenses are issued by the state board of nursing, and Nursys covers verification for participating boards. An NPI helps identify the nurse practitioner and reported taxonomy, but an NPI does not itself prove licensure — license status must come from the issuing board or another official or approved source.

NPI Registry And Taxonomy Check
- NPPES/NPI Registry API version 2.1
https://npiregistry.cms.hhs.gov/api-page
- NPPES NPI Registry help
https://npiregistry.cms.hhs.gov/help/help-home
- NUCC Health Care Provider Taxonomy
https://taxonomy.nucc.org/
- Nursys license verification
https://www.ncsbn.org/nursing-regulation/licensure/license-verification.page
Eazelo uses NPPES/NPI evidence to compare nurse practitioner identity, taxonomy, and any provider-reported state license values against the selected state-license source. If NPI and state-license evidence disagree, the report keeps the discrepancy visible instead of treating it as a verified match.
When Manual Review May Be Needed
Manual review may be needed when a source requires visual verification, a license search is gated, NPI and state-license numbers disagree, nurse practitioners are licensed by a separate board than the mapped source, or the state source does not return enough comparable fields for an automated result.
For paid change-request validation or bulk company workflows, Eazelo can preserve the submitted context and route the case into a reviewed workflow after signup.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I verify a nurse practitioner license in New York?
Use the official New York licensing source mapped for nurse practitioners — New York professions verification search — or run an Eazelo public check with the provider type set to Nurse Practitioner. Eazelo compares NPI Registry identity and taxonomy evidence with the mapped New York source and generates a watermarked proof report.
Where can I look up a New York nurse practitioner license online?
New York professions verification search: https://eservices.nysed.gov/professions/verification-search. NYSED professions search is the all-provider seed for many licensed professions; confirm exceptions.
Is an NPI number the same as a New York nurse practitioner license?
No. An NPI is a national identifier from the NPPES registry and helps identify the nurse practitioner (NP or APRN) and reported taxonomy, but it does not itself prove licensure. New York license status must come from the issuing board, the state professional licensing portal, Nursys where applicable, or another official or approved source.
What does an Eazelo proof report include?
A public check generates a watermarked report with source URLs, timestamps, source-status details, and a checksum when enough source evidence is available. Anyone can confirm the report is genuine using its report ID and verification code on the Eazelo report verifier.
