The electronic record for all license purchasers is assigned a Conservation ID Number (CID#). This lifetime number will appear on all licenses and permits. The CID# is used whenever making a transaction or checking on permit status on the license Web site. Once a CID# is assigned a customer can also access their information using other identifying information, such as their Social Security Number and date of birth.

The NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife has established a process for nonresidents only to have their license purchase options "unlocked" by using the Nonresident License Documentation Form. Documentation can be sent to our Hunter Education Unit via regular mail or as e-mail attachment(s) per the instructions on the form. However, a CID# must be established and on record prior to staff being able to unlock the option and allow for license purchasers. Customers will also complete the annual Child Support Certification process when first establishing their CID#.

For information on the Child Support Certification requirement visit the Child Support Certification Information page.
