Professional Licensing Boards

Our principal export is authenticity

Professional Licensing Boards

Before they may be occupied, all facilities in Osmio must carry a valid occupancy permit. The occupancy permit must be signed by the building inspector, who in turn must obtain releases from all licensed professionals who were involved in its design and construction and who will be involved in its management:

  • Architect
  • Structural Engineer
  • Contractor
  • Subcontractor
  • Building Inspector (public code auditor)
  • City Planner

In addition to a professional license, the latter two professions may be practised only by individuals who have been appointed to public office.

If you are involved in these professions and desire to practice in Osmio or in any of its administrative jurisdictions, or if you are applying for a municipal position such as building inspector (code auditor) or commissioner of any sort, you will need to obtain a professional license from this office.

Enrollment Officers
Enrollment officers are not licensed by this office.

The authority by which an Enrollment Officer may administer an oath and authenticate an affidavit is granted by the notary commissioning office of a state. All Digital Birth Certificate™ credentials require an oath and affidavit, which in turn require (as do all notarial events) a face-to-face process.

Other credentials that do not require a face-to-face enrollment session may be issued by commercial enterprises.

Commissioners
To become a commissioner, you must

  • Obtain a Digital Birth Certificate™ credential
  • Learn the issues and positions that are being discussed in the particular commission by following the public debate, both synchronous and asynchronous
  • Pass the examination for that particular commission.

Your appointment as Commissioner takes place the moment you pass the examination and is effective for a period of six months, at which point you will need to have passed the examination again in the last month in order to retain your position as Commissioner.

Professional Standard Board

The Department of Professional Authentication Standards, formerly known as ICCAP, is governed by a board consisting of authentication professionals of the highest standing. Its charter is to establish and apply a set of standards for the practice of enrollment of individuals in identity credential programs, as described in QEI’s Authority Infrastructure. See www.iccap.org for particulars.

 

The CityState of Osmio maintains high standards for professional licensing, building codes, identity credentials, enrollment procedures and other important parts of the life of the community. The standards are developed both by the city's own Standards Board and in collaboration with other standards organizations.

 

Identity standards are particularly important to our city, existing as it does only in the online realm where we lack visual and aural cues to tell us who is in the room with us. For this reason, we work closely with the following organizations:
