Default Anyone renewed their WIN Card lately?

I renewed my WIN card on line, in June, while doing my draw applications. To date, I have yet to receive my new card. Should I be concerned? I believe that they said it should take 4 weeks, but I'm just about up to 2 months.

Any one else renewed theirs recently? Have you got your new card yet?

Go onto the RELM site and check your address details. If they are correct it will come eventually. You can always send them an email or phone the support line to find out if it has already been sent.

I renewed mine in April, while getting fishing license. Had it within a month, for sure. Draws might be a really busy time for WIN renewals.

Renewed mine in may and had it in 3-4 weeks. I was shocked at how quick it took.

Default win card

Called the 1-800 number yesterday as I am in the same boat. up to 8 weeks to get back. Your win number is still good. if you check win-relm site, it should show the new expiration date if you did it on line. cheers

The card I have expired in 2010, but I have always kept my win up to date. The number is all that matters, as long as you pay your dues, the old card is just fine.

If you renewed it on line, your now valid, why do you need a hardcopy? No matter where you purchase any lic. the system will recognize your updated lic.
So quit worrying and go out and enjoy the great outdoors...........lol

Verify it is valid now, you'd hate to get a nasty surprise when picking up your tags, I renewed mine in June and still a no-sho.

You guys realize it doesn't matter when you get it. The second you renew it your WIN # is good to go, even if you don't have the physical card. You can still buy all your licences at the retailer, just write down your WIN # and bring your driver's licence so they can confirm it's you.

I've sold 1000s of hunting/fishing licences. Many people would come it with expried WIN cards, get them to fill out the renewal, punch it all in, and violia it's good to go even though they won't have the card in the mail for a few months. If you do it online just bring the printout with you.

Not sure what the big deal is guys? I throw min ein the garbage when I get it. You don't need it. All you need is that it is up to date. You already renewed it so no sweat!! Go buy your licenses. The number will be the same as it always is. I alway have a fishing or hunting license in my pocket and it has the win number on it or get it on line and write it down so when you go to get your license you know the number.

Incredigirl and I renewed ours this spring - took about six weeks to get the card in the mail IIRC.

When we renewed the WIN cards online, we printed out the paper copies and carried them until the plastic cards came in.

Just got mine today.
I also applied on Day 1 of the draws.

I would imagine a lot of folks did that.
No point in grousing...if you put it off until there's a rush...expect to be waiting in line for a piece.
Thats sort of how the world works most times.
