Final reminder of Nevada Duck Stamps available free
By the Nevada Department of Wildlife
This is a final reminder that eligible hunters who have purchased their waterfowl stamp ‘privilege” over the internet or at Point of Sales locations also have the opportunity to receive the actual physical stamp at the end of the license year.
For the purist, or for nostalgia’s sake, many hunters like to maintain a real copy of the year’s stamp, and this NDOW offer allows just that.
Implemented last year, eligible hunters may request a free Nevada Duck Stamp for License Year 2011 (which concluded February 28, 2011) and for the current License Year 2012 (which concludes February 29, 2012).
To obtain your free stamp, you must have purchased an “electronic stamp privilege” for either or both of these license years.
This electronic privilege can only be obtained from one of NDOW’s regional customer service locations, from a Nevada license agent who issued you the electronic “Point of Sales” license with stamp privilege, or if you purchased the license and stamp privilege over the internet.
To obtain the free stamp, you must submit an order form to NDOW.
You can retrieve the order form from NDOW’s website at http://www.ndow.org/wild/stamp/.
The completed order form can be hand-delivered, mailed, faxed, or emailed to the address listed on the form.
Please note that there are two different order forms.
If you are eligible and wish to obtain the free Nevada Duck Stamp for License Year 2011 (Northern Shoveler), NDOW must be in receipt of your order form no later than March 31, 2011.
Please allow 10 workdays for processing of your request.
If you are eligible and wish to obtain the free Nevada Duck Stamp for License Year 2012 (Green-Winged Teal), you can submit the order form at any time, but NDOW must be in receipt of your order form no later than March 31, 2012. Because the free stamp can only be made available to you once the stamp is considered “expired,” the License Year 2012 stamp will not be provided to the requester until after the close of the 2012 license year (February 29, 2012).
Those who request this stamp can expect receipt not later than April 2012.
These order forms are not to be used for obtaining the “collectors” stamp. There is a separate “collector stamp order form” listed on the website for such fee-based stamps.
Only one free stamp per license year will be provided to the requester upon verification of eligibility. The free stamp will be mailed to the requester through the United States Postal Service.
