This application can be used to establish or renew a permit to captively breed wildlife listed under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. A Captive Bred Wildlife Registration (CBW) remains valid for five years and may be renewed once for a total validity of ten years, after which the CBW Registration number will be retired and you must apply for a new CBW Registration.
If a renewal application is submitted thirty days or more prior to the expiration of the CBW Registration, the applicant may continue to conduct previously authorized activities during the renewal process. However, if the application is submitted fewer than thirty days prior to expiration, activities must cease at the time the registration expires until the renewal process is completed.
Please note, all CBW registrants are required to submit an annual report on activities conducted at the facility over the previous year, as well as a current inventory of all species covered under the registration.
