IMPORTANT: Check stations will no longer sell any items. Hunters must purchase any needed passes and validations from a DFG license sales office, a license agent or online. The Automated License Data System gives every license agent the ability to sell items previously available only from DFG license sales offices.

BEFORE leaving for the wildlife area to hunt waterfowl, verify that the members of your hunting party have the items below:

• California Hunting License
• Prepaid Wildlife Area Pass (not required for junior hunters)
  • (Type A One-Day, Two Day or Season Pass for Type A Areas), OR
  • (Type A or B Season Pass for Northeastern Zone Type B Areas)
• Harvest Information Program (HIP) Validation
• California Duck Validation (not required for junior hunters)
• Federal Duck Stamp (required for all hunters age 16 or older)
• Upland Game Bird Stamp (required only if hunting upland game birds - not required for junior hunters).

Note: Passes purchased online, will be mailed to the customer. Allow 15 days for delivery of your pass. If you need a pass for use sooner than 15 days, please purchase a pass from a license agent or DFG license sales office.
