How to Apply for WYOMING Nonresident and Resident Adult and Youth Licenses 

Step 1:  Welcome Page and Credit Card Advice 

Read the Welcome page and click on any links you need to get all of your information gathered and organized.  At a minimum, you will need to know:

• Your Sportsman ID number, or last name, date-Of-birth (DOB), and zip code
• If you are a resident or nonresident
• Which Draw you are applying for.  If you are a nonresident and applying for elk deer or antelope, decide whether you are applying for a special draw and whether you want to purchase a point for the next year
• What hunt area and type is your first choice, second choice, and third choice if applicable.
• Are you planning on donating to Search & Rescue and/or Access Yes
• Your credit card number and other card information that may be required
  

Next, fully read the credit card notice, and agree with its terms if you choose to apply online.  If you do not agree, you may apply with a paper application, using a personal check or money order. 

Step 2:  Log yourself into the system 

If you have preference points for any one of our draws, or have applied before, you should be in our customer database.  Simply enter your Sportsman ID and date-of-birth (DOB), or last name, DOB, and the zip code (the last one we would have on file for you.)

• Party Member – If you choose “Party Member”, you must enter in the Party ID.  Party ID’s have no spaces or special characters.  Once you enter the party ID, you will be taken to the application screen, but will not be able to change the hunt area or type since party applications have to have matching species, draw, hunt area and type.
  

Step 7: Fill out the application

After choosing a draw, you will need to provide specific information for that draw including hunt area, type, preference point purchase(if applicable), withdrawal block (if applicable) and quantity (if applicable).  If you applied as a “Party Member”, you will NOT be allowed to change the species, draw, hunt area or type.
