When calling or sending email to Hoang Vo at Hoang.Vo@state.ma.us, please provide the below information. Failure to provide the following information will delay our ability to complete a proper review of the records associated with your Massachusetts pesticide credential(s):
- Full Name (first name and last name)
- Massachusetts Pesticide License Number
- Current Address (street number; unit/apt. number; city/town; state; and zip code)
- Telephone number where you can be reached

- Commercial Applicator License (core) – $100 - (due no later than December 31st each calendar year)

Calendar Year 2012 Late Renewal Interval: If you are a Massachusetts pesticide applicator and did not renew your 2012 Pesticide Applicator License Credential by December 31 st, 2011, than you will be assessed a late fee. After the December 31st deadline, you may still renew your 2012 Pesticide Applicator License Credential until June 30, 2012; however, you will be charged the applicable late fee. The late renewal fee associated with your Massachusetts pesticide credential is equivalent to the applicable exam fee for the corresponding credential type. This late fee is charged in addition to the annual renewal fee.
Did You Change Your Address: In most cases where a license credential or renewal form is not received, the cause is that we do not have your current address. If you did not receive your 2011 Renewal Form or if you moved or otherwise changed the address whereby you receive mail, please call or send to Hoang.Vo@state.ma.us. It is essential that individuals maintaining a Massachusetts Pesticide Credential notify the Department when changing their address and telephone number. Failure to notify the Department of such changes may result in significant delays in receiving your Calendar Year 2011 Renewal Form and delay the issuance of your 2012 Massachusetts Pesticide Credential.
Didn't Renew Your Pesticide License Credential for Calendar Year 2011: The grace period from January 1, 2011 to June 30, 2011; whereby, you could still renew your 2011 Massachusetts pesticide credential, after paying both renewal and late fees, has ended. For those who did not renew their 2011 Massachusetts pesticide credentials and for those who did not recertify via the Department's audit, you will need to go through the re-examination process. This means that you will be required to take the applicable State pesticide license or certification exam over. Please complete an exam registration as found in the Department’s Pesticide Exam and License Information Bulletin.
Please Note: Massachusetts is no longer granting reciprocal licenses and you must take a Massachusetts pesticide exam and obtain a Massachusetts pesticide license in order to legally work in the Commonwealth.
