Pesticide Applicator license renewal for 2025 licenses is underway.
If you have not received or have misplaced your renewal form, please contact us at pesticides@nmda.nmsu.edu and request another copy.
Email submission of renewal paperwork and online payment for those that require a fee are the fastest and most secure way to renew your license. You can still submit by mail or delivery service if you prefer. 2024 licenses expire and all CEUs must be completed by December 31, 2024. For those license with a fee, double fees begin on January 1, 2025 and the final deadline for renewals with double fees is January 31, 2025.
The NMDA Pesticide Compliance office will be closed beginning December 23 through January 1st. We will return to the office on January 2, 2025. We will still be able to process online payments and email submission of renewal paperwork during this closure. Phone calls will also be monitored during this closure period.
For more information, please review the pesticide applicator renewal process.
