You must either find his WILD ID that was used to previously purchase a license (which establishes that he did in fact pass hunter education), or provide proof of hunter education completion.
It is possible that he hunted last year with a hunter education deferral.

You cannot purchase a hunting license for anyone born after 1/1/1972 who has not provided physical proof of hunter education. Going to a license dealer without proof will not work.

He passed the hunters education class last year before his dad bought his license but the license dealer may have used the deferral on accident or something :dunno:. I have a call into the department to try and figure it out, ofcourse i got the machine :bash: hopefully they call back.

The education deferral is not the likely culprit here.
(1) He doesn't meet the age requirement
(2) You must fill out an application
(3) There is approximately a 2 week turnaround time for the forms to be processed
(4) If he did get a deferral, he would have had to purchase his license directly from Olympia

I guess they would need to in order to create anchor babies, wouldn't they? Interesting!
I also had to go to the post office to sign up for the draft when I turned 16. Do kids have to do that these days or is that a thing of the past too?
Glad you got it all worked out 180! I wasn't holding out much hope for you. Way to get it done :tup:

You can get a Soc Sec # right away when they are born.
Maybe I just applied for the paper card when I was 14 :dunno: The cobwebs in my head might be making it difficult to remember correctly. ;)

You are probably remembering correctly, they are not assigned automatically. I didn't get mine until I was 16 and wanted to get a job.

Got it all worked out. Talked to wdfw and they refunded and cancelled my purchase from last night. They were able to find last years info off looking up his name. His dad had not set his profile up with his social security number on it so that's why I could not find him in the system. Its all updated now and hes been put in on all special apps.
Exactly what I was going to say. Found this out with one of my kids a few years ago but I called first thing and it was no prob.

Washington does not have a minimum age requirement.

10 years old minimum for deferral.
Post by: huntnphool on May 22, 2014, 04:29:55 PM
They do have a minimum age to qualify for the one year deferral.Right, I was referring to hunter ed

For a normal license you're correct. He means for a hunter education deferral, and for that the minimum age is 10.You cannot purchase a hunting license for anyone born after 1/1/1972 who has not provided physical proof of hunter education. Going to a license dealer without proof will not work.
