The Division of Food Protection (DFP) will move four new certificates to the Bureau of Climate and Environmental Health’s (BCEH) new online licensing system in December. The online licensing system improves users’ application experience and reduces processing times.
The certificates transitioning on December 15, 2025, at 12:00 PM include:
- Interstate Milk Shipper Certification
- Single Service Manufacturer Certification
- Milk Laboratory Certification
- Certificates of Health and Free Sale
First-time applicants can easily apply for a new license or certificate. First, they should log in to create a new account in the eLicensing system. Then, they can click Apply for a New License from the home page and select the desired license or certificate type. No PIN codes are needed.
Some users need PIN codes for first-time renewals
Holders of Interstate Milk Shipper and Single Service Manufacturer Certificates that are set to renew in 2025 will receive a renewal notice via email from DFP. The renewal notice will explain the next steps and include a unique PIN code that the certificate holder will use during account setup to link their existing certificate to their new eLicensing account.
Holders of Milk Laboratory Certificates and Certificates of Health and Free Sale will receive email renewal notices via email from DFP, but these will not include or require a PIN code for account setup. DFP will process Milk Laboratories Certification renewals and Certificates of Health and Free Sale requests without using PIN codes.
