A registration certificate is your ticket to enroll in a hunter education, furharvester education or bowhunter education course. The certificate is good for 365 days from the date of purchase.
When you successfully complete a hunter education program course, your instructor will validate your certificate. Your validated hunter education registration certificate enables you to apply for or obtain permits in the Division's hunt drawings. It is also becomes your small game hunting license.
The validated furharvester education registration certificate enables you to purchase a furbearer permit.
The validated bowhunter education registration certificate enables you to purchase bowhunting licenses in states that require bowhunter education certification.
After completing the course, you will also receive your official "Certificate of Completion" by mail. The card certifies that you passed a hunter education program course. It will be sent to the mailing address listed on your registration certificate.
The hunter education certificate costs $10. Furharvester and bowhunter education registration certificates each cost $6. You can purchase certificates from a Division office, a license agent or online.
