2018 Private Pesticide Applicators Recertification
Renewing Your Certification
Option 1:
One way to renew your certification (recertify) is to attend a private applicator Continuing Instruction Course (CIC) each of the three years during your renewal cycle.
Check the mailing label for your certification number and expiration date.
Example Mailing Label:
705712 is the certification number.
· First digit of number is expiration year (example: 7 = 2017 expiration)
· Second digit represents how recertification occurred
‒ Numeric 0, test was taken
‒ Alphabet letter (i.e., 6A5712), CIC program attendance
· Last four digits are applicator identification numbers
12/31/17 is the expiration date.
85 refers to the county number.
December 31, 2017 Expiration:
Attendance at CIC programs in 2015–2016 and 2016–2017 and attending a CIC program between December 2017 and April 15, 2018 qualifies you for recertification.
December 31, 2018 Expiration:
Attendance at a CIC program in 2016–2017 and attending CIC programs in 2017–2018 and 2018-2019 qualifies you for recertification.
December 31, 2019 Expiration:
If you wish to recertify by training and not by exam, you must attend a CIC program each year, starting with the 2017-2018 program year.

Option 2:
A second way to recertify is to pass the certification test every three years. If you miss one year of CIC programs, Iowa law requires you to retest when your certification expires. The exam is given by the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship (IDALS).
