After moving to a new state, a falconer must

• A. Obtain a new ownership certificate
• B. Transfer permits appropriately
• C. Notify the old state only
• D. Do nothing unless required

Answer: (B)

When you move to a new state, falconry privileges must be handled through the new state's wildlife agency to stay legal. Permits are issued by individual states and aren’t automatically valid across state lines, so you need to transfer or reissue them with the new state. This keeps your raptors legally possessed and allows you to fly them under the new state’s rules, including any residency requirements, reporting, or species restrictions. The process usually involves contacting the new state agency, sharing your current permit details, and completing any transfer or new-issue steps (and paying fees if required). Simply notifying the old state or taking no action won’t ensure you’re compliant in the new state.
