state statute, including payment of fees and provision of Social Security
number, at the time of application.
(2) A permit for the taking of wildlife may
be issued only to an individual and may be used only by the individual to whom
it is issued. No permit, application for permit, method exemption, Missouri
Conservation Heritage Card, or special hunting or fishing tag may be loaned,
predated, falsified, altered, or misrepresented in any manner, except that a
Missouri Conservation Heritage Card may be presented by another to purchase
permits on behalf of the person named thereon. No firearms hunting permit shall
be issued without containing the hunter education certificate card number where
applicable.
(3) The acceptance of a
permit or privilege or method exemption shall constitute an acknowledgement of
the duty to comply with the provisions of this Code and to pursue wildlife in a
safe manner, and all permits and privileges are conditioned upon such
compliance.
(4) Any person born on
or after January 1, 1967, shall obtain and display an approved hunter education
certificate card prior to purchase of any firearms hunting permit, except as
exempted in 3 CSR 10-5.205. Any person
purchasing a firearms hunting permit for another person who is required to be
hunter education certified must display a valid hunter education certificate
card bearing the name of the person for whom the permit is being purchased. A
hunter education card need not be displayed if certification can be verified
through direct access to computer data files. Hunter education certification
shall be verified by permit vendors on all firearms hunting permits, except as
exempted in 3 CSR 10-5.205. Hunter education
certification shall be limited to persons eleven (11) years of age or older.

from date of purchase through the last day of February of the prescribed permit
year; except the Migratory Bird Hunting Permit, the Resident Trapping Permit,
and the Nonresident Furbearer Hunting and Trapping Permit shall be valid
through June 30. Except as provided for permits purchased by telephone, no

required permit. Temporary permit authorization number(s) allowing immediate
use of permit privileges may be provided for permits (except black bear, deer,
elk, and turkey permits) purchased through the department's authorized
telephone sales service provider. The temporary permit authorization number(s)

obtained by false statement or through fraud, or while privileges are revoked
or denied by the commission, shall be invalid.
