Mercenary License
A Mercenary License is required if you want to do Mercenary work without being chased by the government. The license will only allow you certain illegal activities - for instance, one Mercenary might have an assassination license, while another has a theft license. There are certain activities that even licensed Mercenaries aren't allowed to participate in. These include kidnapping, sexual assault, trafficking, activities related to herecy, and assassination of government officials.
Not all Mercenaries have a Mercenary License. Most mercenary guilds require a legitimate Mercenary License to grant membership, though this isn't true of all guilds. However, the more popular guilds do require licenses. The only real way to tell is by which jobs they accept. If you go to make a contract with a guild for one of the barred activities (for instance, the assassination of a government official), and they either turn you down or threaten to turn you into the authorities, you're dealing with a licensed mercenary guild. If they readily accept, you've just made a contract with a non-licensed guild, and now you're a criminal too.

Types of Licenses
There are multiple types of Mercenary Licenses. These are just a few of them.Assassination License
These licenses allow the Mercenary to accept contracts of assassination. Want your obnoxious neighbor dead? These are the guys you go to. Most of the licensed mercenary guilds have at least a couple of these guys on hand, due to how commonly their services are requested.Theft License
These licenses allow the Mercenary to accept contracts of theft. Been eyeing a pretty necklace, but don't have the money to buy it outright? These guys will steal it for you. Not all licensed mercenary guilds have them on hand, but there certainly are some that do.Kidnapping License
These licenses allow the Mercenary to accept contracts of kidnapping. Want someone to go away for a while without them being killed? These guys will steal the person away for a while, before demanding a ransom of the person's family or close friends and returning them alive. Most mercenary guilds don't have these guys on hand, partially because this has started falling out of favor in the public eye.Purpose
A Mercenary License proves that the Mercenary is registered with the government, and thus is allowed certain illegal activities.
