If you want to apply for or renew an agricultural pest control adviser license in California, you need to fill out an application as directed by the state director. The application requires your name, address, and any other necessary information. You'll also need to pay a fee, which varies as set by the director, that goes to the Department of Pesticide Regulation Fund. Licenses are valid until December 31 of the final year listed on the license. You can renew your license before it expires by completing another application and paying the required fee. If you renew after your license expires, you will have to pay an additional penalty fee.

If you want to get a license, you need to choose one or more areas for testing, like dealing with insects, plant diseases, weeds, or controlling different kinds of pests. The director will set up and give the test.
