COMBINATION LICENSES:    Combination licenses include hunting, furtaker, archery and muzzleloader

senior lifetime furtaker license holders have the option of upgrading to a combination license at the reduced
cost of $51.  (Individuals who hold both senior lifetime hunting and senior lifetime furtaker licenses will be automatically upgraded at no cost.)

WHERE CAN THEY BE PURCHASED?    Pennsylvania Game Commission's Harrisburg Headquarters, 2001 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg,  PA  17110-9797 or any of the (6) Regional Offices located throughout the state.  You may apply on-line at www.pgc.state.pa.us. or at the Elk County's Treasurers office.

DOCUMENTATION NEEDED:    Applicants must produce documentation to prove their age and residency via (1) valid Pennsylvania driver's license or (2) current local or state personal income tax receipts and some other form of positive identification proving their age.  All mail orders must include copies of this documentation with the application and remittance. All applicants must send proof of Hunter Safety Training or Prior Hunting License. (Preferably a photo static copy.)

Social security numbers are used to electronically file license holder information in the computerized database of lifetime license holders.  All information is kept completely confidential.

RENEWAL LICENSES:    New lifetime hunting and combination license holders receive an ID card in June following issuance of the license.  To obtain a yearly renewal license, lifetime license holders may apply on-line or at any authorized in-state issuing agent.  License holders must show their ID card and Valid Pennsylvania driver's license or some other form of positive identification documenting their current residency. The agent then issues a renewal license (new general hunting license back tag and renewal stamp) at no charge.  Renewal licenses are the same for both regular hunting and combination license categories.  The difference is that combination license holders are required to carry their ID card with them at all times while hunting or trapping.
Lifetime license holders who move out-of-state cannot lawfully renew their lifetime license.

Individuals who hold resident senior lifetime furtaker licenses only will have their renewal license mailed directly to them each year in June, from the Pa Game Commission. They will not receive an ID card.
