• Application for License Renewal of Pesticides – Beginning July 1 or shortly after, renewal notices are sent to licensees who have products with licenses that expire on December 31 of the current calendar year. A renewal notice includes an application form that is pre-printed with the list of the licensing company’s pesticide products eligible for renewal, along with their respective EPA registration and State license numbers. To renew licenses, submit the completed application form, and the applicable license fees according to the directions in the renewal notice. Microbial products will have to submit the annual permit issued by HDOA, Plant Quarantine Branch.

If, after August 1, you have not received a form and believe you have products whose licenses expire at the end of the current calendar year, send an email inquiry to [email protected].

For discontinued products, licenses must be maintained for as long as the product(s) remain in the channels of trade, for at least one three-year license period following receipt of written notification of discontinuance by the Pesticides Branch. Licensees may apply to renew a license for a discontinued product for 1 or 2 years by submitting documentation that the product will have exited the channels of trade by the end of the requested license period. When using the pre-printed renewal application form, indicate any products to be placed in discontinuance on the renewal form.

Microbial Products – Products containing microorganisms must also register their products with Hawai‘i Department of Agriculture, Plant Quarantine Branch and submit the approved permit with their registration packet. More information can be found here:  https://hdoa.hawaii.gov/pi/pq/import-program/microorganisms-guidelines/. This permit needs to be renewed with Plant Quarantine Branch every year.

Electronic Submissions – P-2 forms (with an original signature), and payment of licensing fees must be submitted via regular mail, and electronic submission of supporting documents is preferred.  We ask that the supporting documents be in pdf format, text-searchable, and without any security to allow insertion of our licensing stamp.  A copy of the license certificate, label and receipt for payment will then be e-mailed back to you.  Even if not making electronic submissions, please be sure to include the e-mail address of the responsible party on the P-2 forms.
