Introduction to the Civic Application for Occupational Licensing
The Accela Civic Application for Occupational Licensing software simplifies the licensing process

Too often, the process to obtain or renew an occupational license is overly complex and cumbersome. Licensees struggle to understand and follow the process for documenting education, work experience, and continuing education requirements.

Accela’s easy-to-use online portal makes it simple for licensees and staff to:

  • Upload documentation such as continuing education verification, reference letters, or work history
  • Automate workflows and intelligent routing to eliminate manual steps and speed up the review process
  • Deliver a superior customer service experience to licensed professionals
