License Refunds & Reissue
??Refund and Preference Point Restoration Change

Note, anyone may request and be given a refund or preference point restoration for a license no later than 30 days prior to the start of the season for which the license is valid. Also, most refunds are now subject to a $15.00 processing fee.

What Has Changed?

To be eligible for a refund or restoration of preference points, a license must be turned into a CPW location or postmarked at least 30 days prior to the start of the season for which the license is valid.

No refunds or preference point restorations will be given on exchanged licenses or licenses that cost less than $15.

A $15 processing fee will be deducted from most refunds to help recover internal costs of processing that request. The $15 processing fee will not be charged for restoration of preference point requests, refunds to youth licenses, extreme medical circumstances, death of the license holder or license holder?s immediate family member, military deployment, or CPW error.

Any request of refund or preference point restoration after the 30 day deadline will be limited to extreme medical circumstances, death of the license holder or license holder?s immediate family member, military deployment, or CPW error.

Once a refund or preference point request form, and license, has been mailed or submitted to a CPW location, there is no way to recover that license.

Returned limited licenses may be available for later purchase. Details of how to purchase will be available after July 1, 2016.


What Has Stayed the Same?

Individuals must still choose between a refund or restoration of preference points; both will not be awarded.

Refunds will not be given on annual licenses, including mountain lion licenses.

Preference point restoration is not available on exchanged licenses.

Refunds or restoration of preference points will still be given for any reason prior to 30 days before the start of the season, if submitted or postmarked appropriately.

In cases of extreme medical circumstances, death of the license holder or license holder?s immediate family member, applications will be accepted no more than 30 days after the start of the season for which the license is valid, with the exception of military deployment.

A CHANGE to Article IV - Refunds, Reimbursements and Restoration of Preference Points is effective April 1, 2016. For More information, please refer to ???Chapter W-16 - Procedural Rules Article IV ? Refunds, Reimbursement and Restoration of Preference Points?.
 
Very interesting, thanks for sharing that Brad. The old rule used to be that as long as you turned in your license before opening day, you could get a refund or point restoration. Gotta plan ahead now!
