Re-entry permits are now issued to be valid for several years. If you renewed your permit since 2018, it is valid through 2023. To make the process even easier, people with existing permits expired prior to 2018 only need to apply for a new 2018-2023 expiration date sticker for their permit. You will need to bring your hand tag so the data base can be updated. Those applying for the first time will need to complete the full application and supply all necessary documents.

You may renew your existing permit or apply for a new permit in person or by mail. IF renewing in person, make sure to bring the plastic hangtag with you.
