New Jersey has no license specific to appliance repair; plumbing work is reserved to state-licensed master plumbers, and gas piping work on the customer side of the meter falls under HVACR contractor licensing, both overseen by boards in the Division of Consumer Affairs.

In New Jersey, you can check a license with the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs License Verification System or report a problem to the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs.
