Licensing
Verified identity opens the door to expedited, portable licenses
Access to professional licenses and credentials is crucial to credential holders and verifiers, but the data is often segmented among issuing boards, often in outdated systems. Merit connects occupational regulation and professional licensing agencies to make licenses and credentials digital, accessible, and more valuable.

Processes, such as continuing education compliance, are cumbersome and inefficient for licensees and agency staff.
Paper credentials can be easily lost and time-consuming to replace.
It can be challenging for credential-holders to stay current on action items for their licenses.
Licenses are difficult to verify, causing delays in getting to work.
It can be difficult for credential-holders to determine or obtain interstate reciprocity.
Individuals who are interested in obtaining a license face an expensive, paper-heavy, and time-intensive process in qualifying for and receiving their actual license.
