Lifetime Licenses & Tags for Young Hunters |
|
|
Young hunters who hold a lifetime hunting license and wish to receive their tags must first take the appropriate hunter safety training course. A copy of the certificate(s) must be sent to the DEC License Sales Unit (see address above) before their tags can be fulfilled. Young hunters should take the appropriate training course well in advance of the season to allow adequate time for their tags to be mailed. Tags cannot be obtained by contacting your local license issuing agent. |

*When purchasing a lifetime license for a child, the purchaser must bring proof of the child’s age (e. g., birth certificate or passport) and a copy of the parent’s residency proof. |
