Introduction
If your pest management technician, fumigator or ground applicator licence/certificate of competency has been lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed, you can apply for a replacement licence via email or mail.
Once you've received the replacement, you must return your current licence (if you have it) to the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) within 7 days.
If your SafeWork NSW certificate of competency is in a satisfactory condition, there's no need to convert it to an EPA licence.
Eligibility

More information
- In 2015 the Pesticides Amendment Bill was passed, which enabled the consolidation of urban pest management licensing at a single point: the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA).
- If you held a certificate of competency from SafeWork NSW, it will be replaced with an EPA licence.
- If you are applying for a replacement because your current licence has a printing error or you did not receive it, there is no application fee.
