Section 41:06:02:01.03 - Replacement of lost or destroyed license, permit, or game tag

Any license, permit, or game tag issued by the department and lost in the mail and not received by the applicant shall be replaced by the department at no cost. No license, permit, or game tag may be replaced unless the applicant completes an affidavit form provided by the department verifying that the license, permit, or game tag was not received by the applicant.

Any license, permit, or game tag issued by the department that has been lost or destroyed after receipt by the licensee, or any license that through the licensee's oversight is not in the licensee's possession, may be replaced at any time prior to the close of the respective hunting, fishing, or trapping season. In addition, a licensee may request a replacement of any license, permit, or game tag that has been issued but has not been received by the licensee. A replacement license, permit, or game tag may be issued by an agent appointed by the department following authorization from a department representative.

No license, permit, or game tag may be replaced unless the licensee completes an affidavit form provided by the department verifying that the license, permit, or game tag has been lost or destroyed; through an oversight, is not in the licensee's possession; or has not been received by the licensee and that no game animal or fish had been taken by the licensee as authorized by the license, permit, or game tag. Upon issuance of a replacement license, permit, or game tag, the original license, permit, or game tag becomes invalid. The original license, other than a license that is lost and destroyed or that is held at the department's licensing office, along with a copy of the affidavit shall be returned to the department's licensing office and postmarked within 10 days of getting the replacement license.

There is no administrative fee for replacement of lost or destroyed licenses, permits, or game tags.

License agents may, and the department shall, charge the license agent's fee established by SDCL 41-6-66.1 in issuing a permit in lieu of a lost license and any other authorized replacement licenses, permits, or game tags.
