Certification, Registration, License & Permit

"certification" generally refers to a process where a third-party validates an individual's skills or a company's practices against a specific standard, while "registration" typically means formally recording or listing an individual or entity with a governing body, often requiring basic qualifications but not necessarily a rigorous assessment of competency against a set standard; essentially. certification proves mastery of a skillset, whereas registration signifies official recognition within a particular domain or jurisdiction.

A "license" generally refers to a more long-term permission granted by a governing body to engage in an activity, while a "permit" is a temporary authorization for a specific activity, often with stricter conditions and a shorter validity period; essentially, a license allows you to do something regularly, while a permit allows you to do something for a limited time or under specific circumstances.
