Online Platform Expands Access to Licensing and Registration

The Montana Department of Agriculture (MDA), in collaboration with Accela Inc., has launched an innovative Pesticide Portal that delivers around-the-clock access to pesticide-related services and information.

The online platform is designed to improve efficiency, simplify public access, and modernize the way pesticide programs operate across Montana.

Through this partnership, MDA can now provide digital services that enhance communication between the department and users while improving convenience and transparency.

The portal offers a wide range of tools for individuals, organizations, and businesses involved in pesticide use and regulation.

To access the portal’s full features, users must register and create a personal account. Registered users can view records, submit inquiries, and complete service requests.

Limited access remains available for anonymous users. “We trust this will provide you with a new, higher level of service that makes living and working in our community a more enjoyable experience,” stated the MDA.

The Pesticide Portal can be accessed at aca-prod.accela.com/agr. For public searches, including applicator licenses, pesticide brands, and courses, visit ebizws.mt.gov/AGR_PUBLICPORTAL.
