From the ND Game and Fish Department:

Note: North Dakota law requires persons born after 1961 to complete a certified hunter education course and show proof of certification when purchasing or applying for hunting licenses. Official courses offered by other states and Canadian provinces meet these requirements.

Make sure you are HIP if you are hunting waterfowl!


HIP is short for Migratory Bird Harvest Information Program. It allows state and federal wildlife agencies to track the harvest of migratory birds.

If you hunt ducks, geese, mourning dove, snipe, tundra swan, sandhill crane, coot, or woodcock in North Dakota, you must register with the National Migratory Bird Harvest Information Program each year before hunting these species. Even if you are registered in your own state, but plan to hunt as a nonresident in North Dakota, you must register. It's easy! To register with HIP:

By telephone: Before your license to hunt is legal you must register by calling toll free 1-888-634-4798. After answering a brief survey, you will receive a HIP registration number which must be recorded on your fishing, hunting and furbearer certificate

On the Web:
Register for HIP by clicking here.

If you already have a number, click here to verify if you are already registered.
