What does “WILD” stand for and what is the purpose of a WILD ID #?
WILD stands for ‘Washington Interactive Licensing Database’, an automated licensing system which electronically links license sale computer terminals to a central database. WILD ID numbers are your ‘unique identifier’ for the WILD database. If you have purchased a WDFW recreational license since January 1, 2001, you have already been issued your WILD ID number. Your number may be found on any license document you possess.
