Understanding Professional licensing is key to regulatory compliant businesses. Licenses are permits issued by government agencies that enable individuals or businesses to provide services or distribute products within the government’s geographical jurisdiction and private sector. It serves as an authorization to conduct business and it must be issued by the local government. Often, a single jurisdiction necessitates multiple licenses which need to be issued by more than one government department and/or agency. Moreover, business licenses vary in their requirements or provisions depending on the country, state, or municipality. This is because there are times when a business owner needs to get licenses, registrations, and certifications even if the business only operates in a single service area.
Licensing standards can differ widely from state to state. Also, the fields and occupations which states require to be licensed may differ widely. Some states may require a written examination for a license, while others may require several years of field experience as a student or intern. Some states have license requirements which are fairly uncommon among other states.
There is often debate about the level and type of regulation needed. Some standards and procedures are the product of state boards working together. For example, the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) is a medical exam which was created by the Federation of State Medical Boards.
In the United States, the state governments have jurisdiction for issuing most professional licenses to individuals and corporations. In the areas that naturally cross state borders the national government may be the issuer. Thus, the Federal Aviation Administration licenses pilots. The Federal Communications Commission certifies persons operating and repairing amateur and many (depending of their power and frequencies) commercial radio transmitters. The Environmental Protection Agency requires that technicians recycling Freon be examined. In many of these areas the federal government approves organizations (and, for the FAA, private examiners) to test and certify applicants who meet its standards.
Fields that are regulated and licensed vary among individual states. Among regulated fields are health care professionals (medical doctors, nurses); psychologists; lawyers; Architects; tradesmen, teachers; engineers; social workers, occupational therapist plumbers, electricians and certain service industry workers (bartenders; massage therapists; barbers).
