About these reports
OhioLicenseCheck maintains a complete, daily-refreshed copy of the State of Ohio eLicense dataset — every issued license and published application record across all 24 licensing boards. These reports are computed directly from that primary data by our team; they are not republished from any third party. Each report states its methodology and as-of date, and where our measures approximate an official statistic (like NCLEX pass rates) we say so and link the authoritative source.
