Varies depending on the authority

Inform the Untere Jagdbehörde: Report the loss of the hunting licence immediately to the responsible Untere Jagdbehörde in your district of residence, as hunting without a valid document is not permitted.
Submit an application for a replacement Jagdschein: Submit an application to the authority for the issue of a duplicate or replacement Jagdschein with the required documents (ID card, proof of insurance).
Receive the replacement Jagdschein: Once the authority has processed it, you will receive the replacement Jagdschein and can legally hunt again.

A youth Jagdschein is possible from 16 Jahren, provided the hunting examination has been passed.
Hunting is only permitted when accompanied by an experienced person entitled to supervise; independent hunting is excluded.
For minors, the consent of those with parental responsibility may be required for registration for the examination.
According to the Norderstedt schedule of fees, the youth Jagdschein (annual licence) is valid for up to 2 hunting years.

For foreign hunters without a German place of residence, responsibility for the Jagdschein lies with the authority in whose area the hunting is to take place (§ § 15 BJagdG).
The City of Flensburg issues Jagdscheine to foreign hunting guests only if there is an invitation, a Begehungsschein or a lease in a Flensburg hunting district.
For persons without a German place of residence who apply for a Tagesjagdschein or Falknertagesjagdschein, a hunting invitation and the Jagdschein of the main place of residence abroad must be submitted.
Without German citizenship, an Ausländerjagdschein may be an option.
