Forms of Proof

Licensing Requirements

The following are considered forms of licenses, state stamps, permits and harvest authorizations:

  • A paper copy
  • An authenticated Wisconsin driver’s license
  • A DNR-issued Go Wild Conservation Card
  • A digital PDF file issued by the department and displayed on an electronic device

For more information about acceptable forms of proof including example pictures, visit the Conservation Card webpage.

Note: Photo images of paper licenses on a cell phone do not serve as a valid proof of license. It is illegal to use or carry another hunter’s license, tags, permits or harvest authorizations while engaged in hunting.
