Fishing license receipt

[dubob]

[size 3][quote downed_Phly]A few years back, I thought I had lost my wallet and was in the process of replacing everything. I figured since I had a receipt, I could just order a new fishing license since it hadn't expired. After all, I had the receipt. Turns out it doesn't matter.[/size]

[size 3]Do you keep your license receipt? Why?[/quote][font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]I’m not at all sure why you think it doesn’t matter. I did in fact have my wallet stolen last summer and had to replace all that was in it including my combo license and second pole permit. I also buy my licenses on line every year and I’ve always kept the receipt. Why; so I can get them replaced if needed.[/#800000][/font][/size]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]I took the receipts to the DWR Northern Region office in Ogden and got both licenses replaced. The fee for the combo license was $10 and the fee for the second pole permit was $7.50. I don’t know if I could have done that on-line. I also don’t know if I could have done that without the receipts as the DWR has the original transaction stored in cyberspace and could have pulled it up had I given them my Customer ID #. But the receipt has this printed on it: "This is your receipt copy. Detach this piece here and keep it in a safe place." That kind of tells me that they will want to see it if you need a replacement.[/size][/#800000][/font]
