Application Deadline Approaching

[brutal]

They have a pretty big chicken and egg software problem for first time youth participants.

If your young kid is BRAND NEW to the system (no past fishing, small game or other licenses), you can't get past the following secondary identifier step online to establish their CID# and move forward with the application process.

How many 12 year olds have one of the following??????

CID (duh, that's what we are trying to get...)
CO Drivers License / ID
US Drivers License
Passport (maybe a few...)
Green Card
US Military ID
Employment Authorization Card
Tribal Identification Card
Certificate of Naturalization
Certificate of US Citizenship
Colorado Department of Correction ID
Federal Bureau of Prisons ID

Why can't you just use a SSN? You have to put it in later anyway.

Did you use the lookup link near the top of the first page first for the existing CID? that's where i was goofing it up (had to call them)

I saw someone else said to use the parent's DL, but I had problems with that on my own account on Reserve America.

P.S. the guy on support said that soon (don't recall the date) you won't be able to reserve CO campgrounds on Reserve America directly but will have to go through the CPW site (though they use the same back end).

My son has never had a CID, and being 12, had NONE of the other forms of acceptable ID. I put his SSN into the DL box, got him tied into our group hunt, and called the DOW. Surprisingly, I was able to speak to a real person after only a couple minutes of hold music. She pulled up his record, and deleted the DL information, so we should be good to go now. She stated she would report this problem to the software folks for correction.
