I have a question- how early in advance can we do this? Say I want to do it now, could I?
I ask because I can only imagine it won't be a quick process and would hate to have delays in getting it. If i want to go fishing, I don't want to be delayed cause I'm waiting for my licence.
I may just forfeit the credit as I prefer the online option so I can print multiple copies for different boxes, hats and boats.
"Mail in option
A form to purchase your license, permit or tags by mail when redeeming a credit will be available on line at www.ct.gov/dep/sportsmensfeereduction after December 1, 2010."
I filled out the form and mailed a check for the balance for my 2011 in on Dec 4. The form said it would take about 10 days so i'm hoping to recieve my new 2011 license before the 1st of the year. Today is day #12 and I'm still waiting... I don't understand why CT made us waited till Dec 1st for the mail in form? Guys will be goning into 2011 waiting for there new 2011 REFUND License to show up is BS. Why not online so we could print something out till the license shows up in the mail like most states do?
According to a DEP official I spoke to in person, the reason they didn't do it online was because the system doesn't have the functionality to factor in the credit when making a new purchase. It's a new system that an outside vendor set up for them.
Of course, the ability COULD be built in, but it would require time and extra money they'd have to pay to the vendor. Instead of going that route, the mail-in system was the best they could do for now.
Take it for what it's worth. Not the answer we want to hear, but I believe he was being honest.
How do I get my license if I use the mail-in form? Seven to ten business days after you mail the form and payment to DEP, the on-line sportsmen’s licensing system will be updated and you can go into the system and print your license. You can also go to any Town Clerk’s office or retail vendor and ask them to print your license.
If you have any questions, call DEP Licensing at 860-424-3105.

Thanks Mitch. I was able to print + make a copy of my 2011 license.
I sent for mine by mail 3 weeks ago and it still has not come back.
Come January 1, and I do not have my licence , then I will be bringing my application copy and they better not ticket me.
Correction: just read on the application that you can down load and print the licence after 10 days.
