CL
A Certification of licensure is an official written statement of the basis of licensure in New York State, including
such items as professional school attended and professional examination results which may be required for
licensure in another jurisdiction. This also includes national credentialing organizations (CGFNS, FCCPT,
NCEES, NCARB etc.). Please Note: This statement will only be issued at the request of the licensee. In
New York State, a certification is used to verify a New York State license for the purposes of
endorsement to another state. Many states use the word 'Verification' for this document.
