What does Lic. mean

[Seamus Browne]

I have received a mail from a company in Mexico.

The header says From: Exportacion/Lic. Monica Perez
I thought that the word Lic. could be an abbreviation for "licensing" ...

The mesage is signed :
Lic. Monica Perez
Export Department.

What does "Lic." mean ?

TIA
Seamus.

Seamus,

Although "licenciado" can refer to several university degrees in Mexico one
generally thinks of a lawyer upon hearing this term.

The "licenciado" title is used much like 'doctor' for an MD or PhD in the USA.
One addresses a lawyer as 'Licenciado" and (s)he signs correspondence as did
the Licenciada Monica Perez.

The titles 'ingeniero' (Ing.) and 'arquitecto' (Arq.) are used in a like
manner.

A humorous note....

In this border area there is a lot of international enterchange and a
McAllen lawyer had a name-tag (gafete) with the title "Lic" before his name but
many English speakers began calling him "Lick". Needless to say the 'gafete'
was relegated to meetings further from the border.

Seamus, Lic. is the abreviation of Licenciado, which means, the person
using Lic.before his/her name has a license to do whatever they do. It can
be an administrator, a plumber, and electrician, a lawyer, a barber, a Tax
preparer, etc.

Hope this will sufice your question.

Seamus, Lic. was used in the past mainly to describe a Lawyer, but now
days, Lic. Monica Perez, means that she has a License to operate Exports
and Imports in México. Like I said in my previous message,
Lic. can be anyone with a license, there are Lic. in Administration, in
Accounting, etc. even a Barber can be called Lic. Joe Smith, since he has a
License, as long as it is a service, not a fishing license, or a drivers
license.

It means she is an attorney. It is the equivalent of Attorney at Law.

Im my experience, titles such as Licenciada/do are sometimes used liberally
in Latin America, and may not necessarily mean Attorney. For example, in
Ecuador, "Ingeniero" is given to many people in management positions who do
not hold engineering degrees.
Further, Licenciatura is the name given to a 4-college degree, equivalent to
a bachelor's degree in the US. As such a Licenciado/da indicates a holder
of such a degree...
Cordiales saludos,

Lic. is the short form from "Licenciado" - someone who has an university
degree (has completed an university course). It can be any course, from Law
to Linguistics, Philosophy or Mathematics. However, it is not used for a
doctor or an engineer

You are wrong. Lic. means Licenciado(a). As Dr. for doctor.
I'm a Lic. and I studied translation.

Lic. means Licenciado(a) Any person that has been issued a "License" in one
of the many areas,
Lic. in Administration, Lic.in Psycology, Lic. in Exports Imports. Lic. in
Accounting, you can practically have a License in any career. It USED to
be for Lawyers only. This is not true any more.
