Environment client IDs
Your Environment Client ID number is the unique identifier assigned to you when an Environment eLicensing account is created. If you purchased a fishing or hunting licence or an annual campground permit in the last few years, you already have an Environment Client ID.
How to find your client ID
The best way to find your client ID is to look at the top of your previous hunting licence, fishing licence or annual campground permit above your name. Check your email inbox for your last licence or permit.
You only have one Environment client ID. It does not change from year to year. Do not create a new account if you think you already have one. Instead, email [email protected] or phone 867-667-5652 to confirm your ID number.
Other ways to get licences and permits
You can also get licences or permits or apply for the Permit Hunt Authorization and special guide licence lotteries in person. Visit:
- Department of Environment offices during business hours; or
- authorized licence and permit vendors.
You cannot get these items over the phone.
Your privacy
All personal information associated with your Environment client ID is confidential and respected in accordance with the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act.
Your MyYukon account is safe, private and secure. ·

Duration of licences and permits
Your licence or permit is valid as soon as you have access to the electronic PDF file. It will continue to be valid until the expiry date shown on the document.
Displaying licences and permits
You must be able to produce or display your document when required, such as when a conservation officer or park officer asks to see it.
You must carry your hunting or fishing licence with you when you're hunting or fishing. This can be a printed copy or an electronic copy on your phone.
When occupying a government campsite, you must display a printed resident annual campground permit in your vehicle if you have one.
Lost licences and permits
If you lost the copy of a licence or permit that you printed previously, you can reprint the document from your email or your Environment client account free of charge.
Common queries
I created an account but did not get a confirmation email
Check your spam folder. Your email address may be attached to another family member’s account, or you may have entered it incorrectly. You may also already have an Environment client ID.
I'm logged in, but the site will not let me buy a resident big game hunting licence
To qualify for a resident big game hunting licence, you must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident who's lived in the Yukon for at least 1 year before applying.
If you qualify as a Yukon resident and this is your first time getting a Yukon resident big game hunting licence, or if you did not have one last year, you need to:
- fill out a residency declaration; and
- submit it to [email protected] or in person to a Department of Environment office.
After declaring your residency, you'll be able to get a Yukon resident big game hunting licence online.
I bought a licence and permit but did not receive an email
Sometimes there's a delay between purchasing a licence or permit and it appearing in your inbox. Check your spam folder.
You can also log in to your account and download and print your licence or permit through the online platform.
I got my hunting licence online, but I do not see a way to purchase seals
We do not sell big game seals online. Visit your nearest Department of Environment office or an authorized licence and permit vendor. If you buy seals from a vendor, you'll need to present your Yukon big game hunting licence. You can only buy seals for wood bison and elk exclusion area permits from Department of Environment offices.
Do I need to set up a new MyYukon account if I already have one for accessing another government service?
No. If you have used online government services to do things like renew your vehicle registration, book a campsite or apply for student financial assistance, you already have a MyYukon account. Use the same email and password to login and link your Environment eLicensing account.

To change a contact email in an Environment eLicensing account:
- Log in to your account.
- Click on the Profile option in the top right of your screen.
- Navigate to the contact email, input the new email and save the change.
