You do not need a specialized licence that says "service dog" for a service dog. Any that you buy online are legally worthless and a waste of money. What you do need is to licence your dog with your state, as every dog owner in your state is required to do, and let them know that this dog has been trained to be your service dog. Some may require proof of your qualifications to have a service dog or ask questions about what tasks your service dog performs for you.

The federal government does not require that any service dog be certified by any organization or take any test to be "granted" public access. As long as you are qualified to have a service dog (you must be legally disabled under ADA standards to legally have one) and the dog is extensively and highly trained to be a service dog (some states allow service dogs still "in training" the same public access as fully trained service dogs) plus task trained to mitigate your disability, the dog is a legal service dog and you are permitted in public with it.

Any business online that sells certifications, registrations, ID's, licenses or vests that instantly make your dog a service dog are complete scams. What they sell is for novelty purposes only and will hold no legal weight in court should you be accused of portraying your pet as a service dog or being unqualified to have one. Save your money. It takes around two years of hard work to train a service dog. It's not something that can be rushed. If you try you could burn out the dog and have to wash it out of training.

Why do service dogs wear a vest?

Service dogs wear a vest so that they are easily identified. It is not required by the federal law, but it does make access easier. It also helps the dog differentiate from "work" and "play". When the vest is on - they are working. It is not ok, however, to put a vest on just any dog and claim that it is a service dog. That does a disservice to those who truly need the dog.
