Section 220-420-120 - Falconers moving to Washington

(1) If a falconer with a valid falconry permit issued by another state, territory, or tribe moves to Washington with the intent to establish residency, he must notify the department and apply for a Washington falconry permit after ninety days of residency in Washington.

(2) Prior to being issued a Washington falconry permit, the falconer may continue to hold all raptors which he/she legally held prior to his/her move. The department will issue an appropriate class of permit based on the out-of-state permit and experience the applicant has possessed.

(3) Until the falconer has established official residency and a Washington permit has been issued, or until the permit expiration date occurs, the department will continue to recognize a valid permit issued from another state.
