Hunter Education Requirements

To purchase hunting items online, you must have an Accepted Proof of Hunter Education added to your customer record. If you complete the online California Hunter Education Course, your certificate number will automatically be added to your customer record within 48 hours after completion of the course. If you are unable to wait 48 hours, you may provide your proof of hunter education to an authorized CDFW License Agent in your area.

To submit another form of hunter education, email us at LRB@wildlife.ca.gov and request a secure upload link to provide your proof of hunter education. Please allow up to five (5) business days for us to process your request. After your proof of hunter education has been added, you will be able to purchase hunting items during the current and future license years.
