In the US legal court reporting sector, many of the states require
a voice writer to have a license or to be certified by the National
Verbatim Reporters Association. NVRA offers three levels of certification:
Certified Verbatim Reporter,
Certificate of Merit, and Real-time Verbatim Reporter. Earning all
three types of certification is equivalent to being licensed. After
being certified, a verbatim court reporter needs to take courses and
retain his status. (Author)
