How long do certification wallet cards last?

Certification wallet cards issued through the Illinois Hunter Safety program do not expire and are valid indefinitely. This means that once a hunter has successfully completed the required safety course and received their certification, they can keep their wallet card as proof of their training for life. This long-term validity underscores the importance of the training and the commitment to safety that the course aims to instill in hunters, ensuring they adhere to responsible practices each time they engage in hunting activities. It also simplifies record-keeping for hunters, as they do not need to worry about renewing their certification periodically.
