Other Rhode Island Licensed Occupations

A license is formal permission, usually from the state, to engage in a specified occupation. Certification is recognition granted, usually by a non-government agency, to an individual who has met certain qualifications. Registration is a very general term indicating that the title is controlled or that an individual in a given occupation must register with a designated agency.

Individuals with questions about license requirements should contact the issuing agency.
