Missouri Code of State Regulations › Title 3 - DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION › Division 10 - Conservation Commission › Chapter 5 - Wildlife Code: Permits › Section 3 CSR 10-5.215 - Permits and Privileges: How Obtained; Not Transferable

Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 14, July 15, 2024
PURPOSE: This amendment corrects a typographical
				  error and increases the fee for a Missouri Conservation Permit Card to account
				  for increased production costs.
(1) Permits may be obtained only upon
				satisfaction of all requirements imposed by this Code and state statute,
				including payment of fees and provision of Social Security number, at the time
				of application.
(2) A permit for
				the taking of wildlife may be issued only to an individual and may be used only
				by the individual to whom it is issued. No permit, application for permit,
				method exemption, Missouri Conservation Heritage Card, or special hunting or
				fishing tag may be loaned, predated, falsified, altered, or misrepresented in
				any manner, except that a Missouri Conservation Heritage Card may be presented
				by another to purchase permits on behalf of the person named thereon. No
				firearms hunting permit shall be issued without containing the hunter education
				certificate card number where applicable.
(3) The acceptance of a permit or privilege
				or method exemption shall constitute an acknowledgement of the duty to comply
				with the provisions of this Code and to pursue wildlife in a safe manner, and
				all permits and privileges are conditioned upon such compliance.
(4) Any person born on or after January 1,
				1967, shall obtain and display an approved hunter education certificate card
				prior to purchase of any firearms hunting permit, except as exempted in
				3 CSR
				10-5.205. Any person purchasing a firearms hunting
				permit for another person who is required to be hunter education certified must
				display a valid hunter education certificate card bearing the name of the
				person for whom the permit is being purchased. A hunter education card need not
				be displayed if certification can be verified through direct access to computer
				data files. Hunter education certification shall be verified by permit vendors
				on all firearms hunting permits, except as exempted in
				3 CSR
				10-5.205. Hunter education certification shall be
				limited to persons eleven (11) years of age or older. Black bear and elk
				hunting permits may be obtained only by residents of Missouri eleven (11) years
				of age or older that have obtained an approved hunter education certificate
				card or were born before January 1, 1967, except as exempted in
				3 CSR
				10-5.205 (1)(K). The Missouri
				Conservation Permit Card will be issued as a replacement for lost or damaged
				hunter education certificate cards. Fee: five dollars ($5).
(5) Permits are nontransferable and are valid
				from date of purchase through the last day of February of the prescribed permit
				year; except the Migratory Bird Hunting Permit, the Resident Trapping Permit,
				and the Nonresident Furbearer Hunting and Trapping Permit shall be valid
				through June 30. Except as provided for permits purchased by telephone, no
				affidavit, receipt, or other document may be issued or used in lieu of the
				required permit. Temporary permit authorization number(s) allowing immediate
				use of permit privileges may be provided for permits (except black bear, deer,
				elk, and turkey permits) purchased through the department's authorized
				telephone sales service provider. The temporary permit authorization number(s)
				and picture identification must be carried at all times while hunting, fishing,
				or trapping until the actual permit(s) is received. Any permit issued or
				obtained by false statement or through fraud, or while privileges are revoked
				or denied by the commission, shall be invalid.
