- Update your customer profile. Make sure your mailing address, email address and phone number are correct.
- Check to make sure your hunter safety information is on your customer account. If not, upload a photo of your hunter safety certificate by clicking "Documents" above your profile. Anyone born on or after January 1, 1972 needs hunter safety on their account to apply.
