Recertification

For more information, call toll-free 877-301-4555 or email recertification@agr.wa.gov.
 

In addition to renewing your license each year *,  you must recertify every five years to qualify for continued licensure. 
This demonstrates your continuing level of competency in pest control or inspection. 


​* Limited Private Applicators and Rancher Private Applicators renew every five years.

How to recertify

You have three options:

By Credit

You can recertify by taking WSDA-approved continuing education courses.

The number and type of credits you need to earn during your five year cycle depends on your license type(s). 
 

By Exam

You can recertify by retesting towards the end of your five year recertification cycle.
 
You must pass all of the exams required for your license type(s) and categories.

By Reciprocation

If you have a reciprocal license, you can re-submit proof of your other state's license at the end of your Washington recertification cycle.
