ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- (Business Wire)
The Maryland Department of Agriculture (MDA) has launched an online Pesticide
Licensing and Certification Renewal Service that allows the renewal
of pesticide business and employee licenses, certificates and permits.
This new service accepts all major credit cards and is available 24
hours a day, 7 days a week. Businesses can access the Pesticides
Licensing and Certification Renewal Service online through the
State’s official website, www.maryland.gov
or through MDA’s website, www.mda.maryland.gov.
“We’ve put a lot of work into creating a system that makes pesticide
renewal simpler,” said MDA Pesticide Regulation Program Manager Dennis
Howard. “We hope that our customers will find the tools offered
effective and convenient.”
Businesses begin the renewal process by entering their license number,
license type and the code provided by MDA. Pesticide applicators,
technicians and consultants associated with the business are displayed
for the user to provide the requested contact information and
recertification requirements. Once payment is made, and approved by the
MDA Administration, the certificate for the business and employees are
displayed for printing and can also be reprinted at any time from the
online system.
A list of MDA approved recertification courses required for pesticide
businesses and applicators to remain certified are available online
through a public search. New recertification courses for pesticide
safety, environmental concerns, pest biology, control techniques and
disposal can also be submitted to the MDA for approval through this new
system.
The following public searches are also available through the online
system:
-
Certified Pesticide Businesses – Businesses providing pesticides or
pest control services to the public
-
Certified Pesticide Applicators – Individuals providing pesticides or
pest control services to the public
-
Licensed Pesticide Dealers – Businesses providing pesticides to other
businesses

Licensing and Certification Renewal Service was developed at no
