Transfer a Park Use Permit
Transfer a Park Use Permit
Contents:
Overview
Permittees must apply to transfer their park use permit to another entity. Until your transfer application has been reviewed, approved, and a new permit has been issued to the named transferee, you are responsible for all obligations in the park use permit.
The permit that is being transferred must be in good standing before a transfer can be initiated. ‘Good standing’ means that all fees, reports, and required proof of insurance have been submitted for your permit.
Film permits are not eligible for transfer.
The BC Parks Regional Office will review and make a decision on all transfers.
If you are transferring a park use permit for the purpose of Big Game Guiding, Angle Guiding, Trapping or Transporting (under the Wildlife Act), the new permittee must hold a valid guide outfitter territory certificate, angle guiding licence, trapping licence, or transporter licence respectively before they will be able to exercise the rights under the park use permit.
