I too was grandfathered in but I had also taken the course way back when. I could not find my certificate but I did find my old wallet card. I sent them a copy of that and they issued me a current numbered certificate. Very fast and no charge. If I could not find the card I would have had to write the test. Only reason I cared was I needed proof of hunter Ed to get a license in Hawaii, holding a license somewhere else, which works with most states, does not work there. It only takes about an hour to take the course and write the exam. I still haven't put the number into RELM and have no problems buying my license every year.
Now to AHEIA. They were friendly and as helpful as you could ever ask for. If you can't find your 40 year old paper work, why the hell would you expect they should be able to, particularly when these courses were offered all over the place and no real central record base was kept. Even if it was centralised, it is 40 years ago!
