You just need to log into your account with your angler number, birth date and phone number so you can print out a new one.

I make extra copies for my vest, home and car. Twice this year I've forgotten my wallet and my licence. Because I have an extra in my vest I can fish.

Once you get onto the site and into your account save your license as a PDF file on your computer. If you do not know your angler number there is a 1-800 # that you can call. They will ask you some questions and they will give you your angler number. They are only open mon-fri during business hours.

And I thought I was the only one printing out multiple copies.  I'm surprised you are allowed to, but let's not tell .

I think the site suggests that you save your license as a PDF file on your computer. I like the idea of one license in the fly vest and another one in the River vest. I never thought about one in the vehicle.
