Proof of Hunter Education


Rule 23-19-11

  1. The Division cannot issue a hunting license to any person born after December 31, 1965, unless proof is presented to the Division or one of its authorized wildlife license agents that the person has passed a Division-approved Hunter Education course offered by a state, province or country.
  2. For purposes of this section, "proof" means:
    1. a certificate of completion (in Utah referred to as a "blue card") of a Hunter Education course; or
    2. a current or immediately preceding year's hunting license issued by a state, province or country with the applicant's Hunter Education number noted on the hunting license.
  3. Anyone who has completed an approved Hunter Education course in another state, province, or country and becomes a Utah resident, must obtain a Division-issued blue card prior to purchasing a resident license or permit. Proof of completion of an authorized Hunter Education course by another state, province or country must be presented or verified in order to obtain a Utah blue card. A Utah blue card may be obtained at any Division office at no charge.
