What is The Connecticut Conservation ID system used for?
The purpose of the Conservation ID number is to make things easier for all outdoor activity enthusiasts. Instead of storing and carrying multiple pieces of paper, all of your outdoor Connecticut licensing activities will link to this number and appear when searched; this includes your “Safe Boating Certificate”.
As soon as you obtain the education requirements, your instructor will enter you into the system and you will be able to purchase and download your freshly obtained “Safe Boating Certificate”. Additionally, you will have the option to reprint your certificate at any time and from anywhere; all you will need will be internet access and a printer!
Once you have completed this process, visit our Public Course Schedule and choose your next class; we look forward to seeing you!
