From passing the exam, your certification to apply for a licensed exterminator is valid for one year. This gives you a defined window to complete and submit the license application, while ensuring your eligibility is based on current knowledge and regulations. If you apply within that year, you can obtain the license; if the year passes, the certification expires and you’d likely need to recertify or retake the exam to regain eligibility. After licensing, there are separate renewal requirements to maintain the license. The other durations don’t align with this policy, which uses a one-year window for applying for the license.
