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 purchase my fishing license using this website?
Yes. Fishing licenses purchased using this site are immediately issued as a PDF document to be printed on your own computer system. The license can also be saved for future printing. Free reprints can also be generated from this website. Licenses purchased online are not mailed; those wanting a license on our durable, waterproof paper can obtain them at any license agent.
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. |
