Lifetime hunting license holders before 2008 need new cards

Lifetime hunting license holders before 2008 need new cards

By Alabama Dept. of Conservation and Natural Resources

Hunters who purchased Alabama lifetime hunting licenses before 2008 need new, updated cards now that deer and turkey harvests must be reported through Game Check. Hunting license numbers are required Game Check data.

Lifetime licenses issued before 2008 do not contain enough characters to be used with Game Check. The new lifetime cards have unique identification numbers.

There is no charge for a new card if a lifetime license is replaced so the hunter can comply with Game Check.

Replacement lifetime licenses may be obtained two different ways. License holders can visit a Probate or License Commissioner’s office and request a new one. A temporary card will be issued until the new one arrives in the mail.

A lifetime license application can also be downloaded from www.outdooralabama.com/resident-lifetime-licenses.

Alabama lifetime license holders who are unsure if a replacement license is needed can call (334)242-3465.

To eliminate the need for a new lifetime license replacement card, hunters can obtain a new, permanent DCNR Conservation ID number.
