The 2024 HIP registration process opened on March 1, 2024.
When you buy your license online at CPWShop.com or at a CPW office, a HIP validation will print on your license. You can also use the automated phone system at 1-855-521-3050 to register, but must have already purchased a small game license. If you buy your license at an external sales agent, before you hunt small game, you must go online to CPWShop.com, log in to your account, and add HIP to your cart to access the HIP questionnaire or go in to any CPW office that sells licenses and complete the survey to add the HIP registration to your account. You can also complete the HIP registration via the automated phone system at 1-855-521-3050. See more details on each process below.
Hunters who do not have a HIP registration on their account may be warned and then ticketed for non-compliance with the program. The fine is $70.52 and, in addition, 5 points will be assessed against your hunting privileges.
