New to AlbertaRELM and Virtual WiN Card Info

Getting Started

All anglers and hunters must have a Wildlife Identification Number (WiN) before purchasing any licence, wildlife certificate or draw application. Your WiN is a 10 digit number that begins with the number 1, e.g. 1200000000 and confirms your eligibility for a licence within seconds. The same WiN is used to purchase both hunting and fishing licences.
