# Introduction

> Learn how to use our license verification API.

The license verification API allows you to verify a nursing license by person, number, and jurisdiction.

This page walks through the core concepts of license verification.

## Asyncronous

License verifications are async. When you start a verification, you'll receive the `id` along with a `scheduled` status.
When the job starts, the status will change to `processing`. Once the job is completed, the status will change to `complete`.

If a job fails for some reason, the status will change to `failed`.

Camber sends webhooks when a license verification has either completed or failed. You can then retrieve the verification result using the `id`.

## Results

When a license verification is complete, you'll receive a `decision`, any `issues` and the extracted `data`.

### Decision

The `decision` is the core output of a license verification. It lets you know whether the license was accepted or rejected. If Camber is unsure, it will return flagged. If a job fails, the decision will default to failed.

### Issues

The `issues` are any issues that Camber found with the license. For example, if the license is expired, or the name on the license does not match the name in our system, it will be listed as an issue.

### Data

The `data` is the primary source data for the license.
