Licensed Occupations in New Jersey

In order to work in some occupations, individuals must meet specific qualifications mandated by New Jersey law or regulation. Applicants for licensure must provide documented proof of having met required standards of education, experience, skills and other criteria, to the appropriate state agency. Occupational licensing is required to ensure that only qualified individuals work in occupations which affect the health and safety of the public in the State of New Jersey.

The information is obtained from an annual survey of all state agencies charged with the responsibility of issuing a license, certification or registration for one or more occupations. It does not include information on obtaining a business license.

For  information on opening a business and obtaining a business license in New Jersey contact the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (EDA).
