State and Federal Law Requires Social Security Number Collection
Federal and state laws require ODFW to collect the Social Security number (SSN) of applicants for hunting and
fishing licenses. These laws were enacted as part of a nation-wide effort to improve child support compliance.
Social Security numbers will not be displayed on licenses or disclosed except as required by state or federal law.
Instead, a Hunter/Angler ID number is printed on all licenses, tags, permits, etc. This is your permanent identification
number. It is the primary number for identifying you in our system and maintaining your license history.
Bring any 2012 license or tag to any Point-Of-Sale (POS) license agent when applying for 2013 licenses and tags.
You will be quickly identified within the Oregon system Department and avoid delays.
