Licensure is the process by which a governmental agency grants permission to engage in a given occupation to an applicant who has attained the degree of competency required to ensure the public's protection. Reciprocity involves the recognition of a license obtained in one state by another state. Registration is typically a simpler process than licensure, involving the listing of an individual or entity in a registry, without requiring proof of competency. Certification is the issuance of a document attesting to an individual's achievement of a certain level of knowledge or skill, but it does not necessarily confer the legal authority to engage in a particular occupation.
