It's not. All you have to do is fill out the forms properly, send in the 10 dollars along with the form, and you're set. They'll send your permit in the mail or have you pick it up at the park office.

You of course, have to have proof of vaccinations/shots, as well as tags. That's not complicated either.

All we did was take a picture of the reciepts we recieve each vet visit, which lists the shots they recieved, and printed it out.
