When relocating to another state, a falconer should ensure

• A. Transfer permits appropriately
• B. Renew all permits
• C. Sell birds before moving
• D. Cancel falconry license

Answer: (A)

Falconry permits are issued by each state and do not automatically carry over when you move. When relocating, you should contact the wildlife agency in the new state and arrange for the transfer or reissue of your falconry authorization to meet the new state's requirements. This keeps you compliant and allows you to continue lawful possession and care of your birds under the new state's rules. Renewing permits in the old state or selling birds isn’t the required step, and canceling the license isn’t the right move; instead, establish legal status in the new state by obtaining the appropriate permits there.
