professional licenses
Occupational authorization documents
Professional licenses are government-issued credentials that authorize individuals to practice specific occupations, typically those affecting public health, safety, or welfare.
Doctors, lawyers, nurses, engineers, and electricians all require professional licenses before they can legally work in their fields.
Obtaining one usually involves completing approved education, passing examinations, and meeting experience requirements.
Most licenses must be periodically renewed and may require continuing education to maintain.
