WDFW prepares to launch new licensing system

Contact: Licensing Customer Service, 360-902-2464;
 Peter Vernie, Licensing Division Manager, 360-902-2302

OLYMPIA – The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) will launch a new system later this month to sell fishing and hunting licenses and the Discover Pass.

 "We are very excited to launch the new system," said Peter Vernie, WDFW's licensing division manager.  "It will be more user-friendly than the current system and will provide a better experience for our customers and the many retailers who sell state recreation licenses."

 Each year, WDFW sells about 2.5 million hunting and fishing licenses and related recreational permits, generating about $55 million for fish, wildlife, habitat management and enforcement activities that directly support recreational opportunities. Licenses are sold online, by telephone, and through a network of 600 business vendors across the state.

 Vernie said WDFW will shut down the current system on the evening of Dec. 17 and will resume sales on Dec. 19. Licenses will not be sold on Sunday, Dec. 18, during the transition to the new system.

 Hunters and anglers should be sure to buy their licenses before 6 p.m. Dec. 17 if they plan to be on the water or in the field the next day, he said.

 "We appreciate our customers' and our retail partners' patience as we make this change," Vernie said. "We are doing everything we can to minimize inconvenience and to deliver a secure, functional system on December 19."

 Vernie said licenses will be available in mid-January for the 2017-18 hunting and fishing seasons that begin April 1.

 Hunters are also reminded to report their harvest online at WDFW's website or by calling 1-877-945-3492.  The hunter reporting service will be unavailable during the transition, Vernie said.

 WDFW's licensing system is located at https://fishhunt.dfw.wa.gov

Nature. It's cheaper than therapy.

It can handle larger numbers, for the future price increases.  >:(

We're customers now instead of taxpayers.  Does that make us always right?

The only upgrade to thier system I'm interested in is will we be able to get a line item on our federal duck stamp instead of having to 1 find one 2 buy a second one if we loose the old one.
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

That's funny. But then it's not...

WA is one of the least friendliest states when it comes to purchasing duck stamps but also enforcing the duck stamp law.

Not to mention if you try and buy one mid season most places, including post offices, are sold out :bash:

I lost my license this year and had to have a reprint. I couldn't get one at the damn post office and was about to say piss on it and go kill some quackers anyway... fortunately Holiday Sports THE BEST sports shop in the valley had some.  Great shop and I try to support her them when ever possible. Got my dog vest and a bunch of other stuff there.
