I realize that I haven't changed my address since I moved back in September. is there a # to call or a website to go to or is the only way to do it is mail in that piece of paper cutout in the synopsis?

If you haven't got your hunting license yet this year, just fill out the lower part of the card for your license sticker for change of addy.(the card the issuer keeps)

I have my license but when I was getting my migratory bird license and couldn't remember my new postal code, I realized I never changed my address. I haven't the foggiest where the closest gov. agent's office to me is either (I'm in Kitsilano, Vancouver).

I just mailed mine today, but I noticed they have a fax number on the form too. So you could fax it to them to save the hassle of mailing.

Found this on the Gov't site.


Change of Address Notification

It is important that the Fish and Wildlife Branch maintain accurate records of hunter addresses and hunter numbers particularly as they relate to Limited Entry Hunting, wildlife harvest and hunter effort data requested from hunters through reporting, inspection and survey.
If the holder of a hunter number card changes his or her residential address or ceases to be a resident, he or she must notify the Director of the Fish and Wildlife Branch of the address change.
If the holder of the hunter number card ceases to be a B.C. resident, the hunter number card is suspended as long as the person is not a resident.
Please forward a Change of Address notification to us WITHIN 30 DAYS OF name change. The Change of Address notification form is also found in the Hunting & Trapping Synopsis (http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/fw/wildlife/hunting/regulations/index.html) on Page 16.
