Many of you are like us and love your annual pass w/holidays. With BLM office being closed, their recording says the staff is "working hard at home answering calls and responding to emails". Well, after 2 weeks, calling 10 times each day and leaving a voicemail, plus numerous emails, called this morning and on the first ring someone answered!! Was so excited I was speechless all I said was don't hang up! I'll give some feedback, hoping to answer some questions someone might have but too nervous to ask or not know how to ask!
- yes they are open remotely, limited staff due to an abundance of reasons
- yes annual passes are available now as of October 1st, holiday and non holiday passes available with the same prices as previous years
- no you do not need a drivers license number to purchase anymore, just first/last name and address
- they are shipping the passes upon cleared credit card transaction via FedEx
- new to this year, you are able to purchase more than one pass! They just ask what last name you want on each pass
If you love your annual pass and have to have one, don't get pissed off and mad at BLM. They don't make these (insert personal opinion adjective here) rules, the state does, it isn't their fault. SOMEONE will eventually answer the phone or possibly call you back. The lady who I spoke with this morning was very happy and cheerful, we joked about some things, talked about Dumont, ect. They are people too
Looking forward to Halloween this year, I think it is going to be more packed than last year. Wouldn't miss a Halloween!
