I ordered my licence online and the tag has not arrived in time for deer season

Lost or damaged hunting licence cards or tags
If your hunting licence card is lost or damaged a replacement may be requested by logging in to the Hunting Licence online portal. Select the option 'Order Replacement Licence Card' and follow the prompts. Alternatively, you can order a replacement card by visiting a Service Tasmania service centre.
Lost or damaged deer tags may be replaced by contacting Wildlife Services (see contact details at the bottom of this page). A statutory declaration must be completed and submitted before a replacement tag can be issued.
