Idaho hunting and fishing licenses back online |
|
December 1, 2016 |
People can once again buy Idaho hunting and
fishing licenses and tags online, but they will
have to establish a user name and password to
get entrance into the system.
The
Mandatory Hunter Report is also available,
and can be accessed without a user
identification or password.
Idaho Fish and Game was notified in August that
some of its license holders may have had their
personal information released due to a data
breach experienced by its online license vendor,
Active Networks.
As soon as the department was notified, the
online system was taken down to prevent further
loss of information and make the site more
secure.
“We realize adding user identification requires
a little more effort to log on, and it’s another
password to remember, but we think the trade-off
of having another layer of protection for our
hunters’ and anglers’ personal information is
worth it,” said Michael Pearson, Chief of
Administration.
After hunters and anglers create a unique user
name and password, they can then buy a license
and tag online. Similar to other online vendors,
this user identification and password are
required each time they go online to buy an item
using the website or mobile-friendly site.
To buy licenses and tags online,
click here. If sportsmen and women do not
want to log into the new system to purchase
items, they can still visit one of the more than
380 vendors around the state, or call
1-800-554-8685. |
