English translation:[government-issued] I.D. card
Explanation:
I happen to be a volunteer in Ecuador. A "cédula" is an I.D. card issued by the government to all Ecuadorian citizens and permanent residents. We don't have anything like that in the States. However, as I understand the Andean Pact countries do have this kind of card. This word is sometimes used in the phrase "cédula de identidad".

Explanation:
I wander if there is a number next to "decula" and name? But yes, in this context, I believe that it means a qualified professional.
