A raptor propagation permit is required for the taking, and holding of raptors for captive breeding purposes. Raptor propagation permits are available through the department and require the band numbers of the birds that will be bred as well as their sex and species. A copy of the federal application for raptor propagation and the supplementary materials are also required. A raptor propagator is licensed both though the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and FWP. All raptors held in captivity must be banded and that band number registered with both the state and USFWS. The state fee for the raptor propagation permit is $20. Laws and regulations concerning raptor propagation can be found in the falconry laws and regulations.
