This paper examines and analyzes the status of professional licenses, authorizations, and certifications held and their effectiveness in the labor market, based on data collected through a web survey method from current job holders. We believe that our study is unparalleled in its comprehensiveness and inclusiveness. We found that certifications are acquired mostly by people in their 20s and mainly as a means to develop professional skills early in their career formation process. As for the effectiveness of certifications in the labor market, we recognized positive effects on the employment of people with secondary education who were regular workers. We also found that, although the possession of certifications that are useful in helping them acquire a job or perform their job duties earn relatively high incomes. On the other hand, when men hold certifications that are useful in helping them acquire a job early in the career formation process, it leads to a relatively high income. In the future, it will necessary to conduct a more thorough study on the significance of certifications by analyzing their substance in detail and examining the assessment of effectiveness of certifications by employers. It will also be important to develop a database of information related to certifications as part of an information infrastructure for workers' career formation.
