Game & Fish Department Question

[elkaholic]

Purchasing an online license

 

OK - Son finally moved back to Az 1 yr. Ago-

 

long story short version

 

Why is the NON-Resident the default on the online box under residency

 

while getting son's department id # I missed changing it to resident

 

I filled out elk - antelope - with claiming 1 yr non military resident

 

when I printed out license it - states on the right License/stamp # - class under that it shows -- HA 878888 Res Hunt

 

but on the left side resident shows - NO

 

dept# id (null)

 

I'm hoping it's as easy as change it to the proper- resident and reissue same license #

 

on the applications - the charged me resident fees using the license # printed on license

 

why is the default non- resident instead of resident -!?????

 

I'M sure this a mistake that is fairly frequent when applying online

 

I hope I'm not the only Putz around whom happened to miss it !

 

I need to make the trip on Monday to see what can be done !

 

so the printed license shows both resident and non resident !!??

My guess is that if you don't talk to game and fish they will come talk to you. I had this happen one time in another state and a game warden showed up at my door and wanted to know why I bought a resident license if I was not a resident.

 

The default is NR because they want you to have to choose Resident and confirm the affidavit that says you meet the requirements.

 

I don't think it will mess up your app as it doesn't tie to your hunting license.

I would call them before you go through the trouble of driving over. There is a good chance they can correct it in their computer with you on the phone. If that can be done then you should be able to print out a corrected licence.

They should leave it blank and make it so you have to choose one like when doing the online draw.
