The CID number is unique to each hunter and can be used to purchase future licenses, Harvest Information Program (HIP) permits, and report deer and turkey harvests. CID numbers are also used to register for special opportunity hunts, alligator hunts, youth hunts, deer dog hunts, and trapping workshops. Unlike an annual hunting license or H.E.L.P. number, the CID number will never change 鈥 it is the only number hunters need to remember and use for the rest of their days afield in 黑料天堂.
All hunters in 黑料天堂 (licensed or license exempt) are required to report deer and turkey harvests via the Game Check system. To use Game Check, hunters are required to input a license number, Hunter Exempt License Privilege (H.E.L.P.) number, or a Conservation Identification (CID) number. While a 16-digit hunting license or H.E.L.P. number will work, the fastest and easiest way to report your deer or turkey harvest is with a 6-digit CID.
NOTE: Residents who purchase a license are automatically issued a CID number.
