When you register for an Outdoors Card number you will be mailed an Outdoors Card which is provided as a way to remember your identification number. An Outdoors Card is not a hunting licence and does not have to be carried with you while hunting, angling, or trapping.
A. Applications for an Outdoors Card Number go through a client verification and quality assurance process. In certain situations, this may delay your training history from being updated by a day or two.
However, in most cases, the training information associated with an Outdoors Card number is updated automatically upon successful completion of the online Hunter Education Course.
