RECIPROCITY

The Idaho Pesticides Law provides that the Idaho State Department of Agriculture may issue a Professional Applicator or Private Applicator (RU only) license to a non-resident who holds a similar current license in another state.  Idaho has reciprocal agreements with the following states:

  • Montana

  • Oregon

  • Utah

  • Washington

  • Wyoming

To become licensed in Idaho through a reciprocal agreement, an individual must:

be a Non-resident of Idaho who resides in and currently holds a pesticide license from one of the aforementioned states;

  • provide ISDA with a photocopy of the current license, showing what categories are held;

  • complete an ISDA license application form;

  • provide proof of financial responsibility (if seeking a Professional Applicator license); and

  • pay the appropriate license fee.

Individuals who move to Idaho after having been issued a reciprocal license, must take and pass the Idaho exams to maintain their license.

Idaho residents who hold pesticide licenses in other states, must pass the Idaho pesticide exams to license in Idaho.

There are no reciprocal agreements for the Idaho Dealer or Chemigation licenses.
