Why do I need to provide my Social Security Number (SSN) to use this site?
Under the New Jersey Child Support Program Improvement Act, state agencies responsible for issuing certain licenses are required to obtain Social Security Numbers and a certification regarding child support obligations from all applicants. Using this site the first time you will only have to provide your SSN as you enter your information. At the conclusion of your transaction, you will be issued a lifetime 9-digit "Conservation ID Number" (CID#) which you may use to identify yourself in the future.

What is a Conservation ID Number (CID#)?
A Conservation ID Number (CID#) is the 9-digit number assigned to you during your initial visit to the site or license agent. It is a lifetime number which will appear on all NJ fishing, hunting and trapping licenses, permits and stamps. It is used, along with your date of birth, to log into the license system for purchases, to submit or check on a lottery application, or to update your personal information. You can also log into the system using your Social Security Number.

Can I purchase my hunting license using this website?
Unless your completed hunter education is on file in the database, the first time you purchase your hunting license using the electronic system, you MUST purchase it at a license agent. At the agent you must provide proof of hunter education or a previous year's resident hunting license of the same type. Thereafter, you may use this site to purchase your hunting license (fees apply).

Can I go hunting/fishing immediately after purchasing my license/permit?
Some items purchased using this website (such as fishing licenses and Striped Bass Bonus Permits) will be printable on your home computer system. After you print your documents, you may participate in the licensed activity immediately. Other items (such as hunting licenses and deer/turkey permits) will be mailed to you by Automated License Systems from Nashville, Tennessee (allow 7-10 business days). Once you enter the website and identify yourself, you will see a complete list of which items you may print at home and which items will be mailed to you. Please note that if you purchase an item which will be mailed to you, you may NOT participate in the licensed activity until you receive your documents in the mail. Licenses and permits purchased at an agent are issued immediately.

How do I pay for my licenses/permits?
You may pay by using credit card or electronic check. Please note that for any items that need to be shipped there is a shipping and handling fee of $1.50 plus 2.5% of the total transaction. Expedited shipping is available at an additional cost. If you wish to avoid these fees, you may visit any license agents located throughout the state.
