What documents do I need to provide to verify I'm an active guide/outfitter?

In most cases, we will need at least two documents to verify your status. The accepted documents will depend on the position. 

If you are a guide working for an outfitter the documents below are accepted:

• Copy of Guide License with your name and valid expiration date on it, or membership in state/province guide association (if your State requires one)
• First Aid card with a valid expiration date (accepted only in combination with a valid guide license)
• Recent pay stub from your outfitter, no more than 6 months old (feel free to cover any sensitive data)
• Official, signed and dated letter from your employer stating your hunting/fishing guide position, no more than 1 month old (handwritten letters not written on official business letterhead are not accepted)
• Email from the outfitter to [e-mail] stating you are an active guide.
• US Forest Service or BLM permit with your name shown
• An active, or copyright with the current year, website promoting the Outfitting Business with your name shown

If you are the outfitter, any two of the following are accepted

• Copy of current year outfitter license (if your state requires one)
• Current year-dated brochure promoting your hunting/fishing business with trip prices
• Proof of Business Insurance with a valid expiration date on it 
• US Forest Service or BLM permit
• Copy of a recent client contract or invoice showing the name of the client, the signature of the client, and the date 
• An active, or copyright with the current year, website or Facebook page promoting the Outfitting Business with your name shown

Document requirements will vary by category and by individual brand. Some may accept a  First Aid Card as a valid form of documentation while others will not. Keep in mind that each brand sets its own vetting requirements as far as documents go. While we have a great understanding as to what is valid on a state-to-state basis, we are always continuing to learn and will do our best to get you verified!
