How to register for hunter and bowhunter education, and field days

The following step-by-step guide will walk you through the new online registration system. With ODFW’s electronic licensing system, you can now  register for events, online (24-hours a day, 365 days a year). You also can download confirmation to an app on your smartphone or print paper copies at home.

You can visit an ODFW office to purchase and receive paper or electronic copies of your class registration. At this time, you cannot register for classes or events at a license vendor, although you can still purchase your license and tags there.
