A new state law allows for the one-time transfer of lifetime hunting, fishing, and trapping licenses, according to the state Department of Environmental Conservation.
Under the new law, lifetime sporting licenses may be transferred to a qualifying relative if the lifetime license holder passes away within one year of purchase of the license or if the license holder passes away while in active United States military duty during a time of war.
Restrictions limit the transfer only to a legal New York State resident and the person to whom the license is to be transferred is a parent, sibling, child or spouse of the license holder.
Application for transfer of the lifetime license must be made within three years of the issuance of the license, except in the case of lifetime license holders that die while serving in the active United States military, naval, or air services during a period of war.
For more information on requests and copies of supporting documents for applying for Lifetime License Transfer call DEC's License Sales Unit at (518) 402-8843.
