Steps to obtain a permit

1. Step 1: If you created an iSportman account previously do not create register a new account. Use the same account as last season. If you do not already have an iSportsman account then register in iSportsman by clicking on the Register tab in the blue bar above, complete that form and submit.

2. Step 2: EVERYONE MUST complete a new background check through the Visitor Control Center annually.

   • Background check and weapons registration forms:

     •  Hunting & Trapping

     • All other Recreation (Fishing, Firewood, etc.) 

       • Weapon permits expire one year from date of issue.  Even if you submit your background check and weapon permit registration form via e-mail you must still go by the VCC to pick up a current weapons permit.

   • Print the background form, fill it out, sign it and drop by the VCC during normal business hours to complete this process. You may email the completed form to the VCC     usarmy.fort-walker.imcom-atlantic.mbx.installation-access@army.mil

3. Step 3: Once background check is complete the VCC will activate your Fort Walker iSportsman account. Call the VCC at (804) 633-8585 to check on the status of your background check.

4. Step 4: Log into your account and acquire the necessary permits.
