A local competency card shows that you've complied with a local government's licensing requirements. These cards are also called certificates of competency. In most cases, you'll need to pass an exam given by the city or county. The exams often consist of trade knowledge and business/law.
In contrast to a license, most certifications are voluntary. However, some certifications are required or mandatory to practice within a specific state. Certification is done by private organizations. It is a way of protecting the public by ensuring the person providing tasks has met the needed requirements.
