Licensing
Do you need a license in Oregon?
Dryer vent installation may carry more regulatory weight than cleaning because installation can fall under contractor or mechanical-code requirements, and in Oregon new installs or alterations may require CCB registration or related permitting. Requirements vary by scope and locality. A NISCR certificate is a professional credential, not a government license; always verify current CCB, mechanical-code, and local requirements before installing vents in Oregon.
A NISCR Certificate of Completion confirms completion of NISCR training and examination. It is a professional credential, not a government license. Where local law requires a license to perform a service, the technician is responsible for obtaining it.
