Occupations and business activities often require some form of registration, license or certification
by the State of New Jersey. This booklet compiles, in a single document, a listing of these requirements
with the appropriate agency contact. It has been prepared by the Business Action Center in response to
requests from the business and professional communities for this type of information.
All State regulatory agencies have reviewed and verified this material to ensure completeness and
accuracy. Inevitably, changes will occur and the Business Action Center strives to keep this document
current with frequent updates.
Users of this information should also contact the county and municipal clerks in order to satisfy
possible local permitting requirements.
Sincerely,
Donald Newman
