RECIPROCITY
The Idaho Pesticide and Chemigation Law allow the Idaho State Department of Agriculture to issue a Professional Applicator or Private Applicator (RU only in Montana, Utah, and Wyoming; RU and SF only possible in Oregon and Washington) license to an applicator that has tested and currently holds a similar license in another state.
Idaho has reciprocal agreements with the following states:
- Montana
- Oregon
- Utah

- Wyoming
- To obtain a Reciprocal License in Idaho, an individual must:
1. Complete an ISDA license application
2. Submit Proof of Reciprocal License status and categories
• Residents of all the above states, except for Washington, must contact their home
state to request a Letter of Good Standing to be sent to the ISDA
Licensing Office. **Washington license holders need to send a printout of their
current license status from WSDA’s website.
3. Provide proof of financial responsibility (for Professional Applicator License only); on
the ISDA Professional Applicator Certificate of Insurance form and

1. Idaho will NOT issue a Reciprocal License if the other state’s license is set to expire
within 45 days, or has already expired. The license will need to be renewed first.
2. Idaho does not reciprocate the Chemigation category, and applicators will have to take
the Idaho exam to perform such applications.

testing, Idaho may refuse to issue a license or category.
