Sold

Yes you do when you upgrade, always have.  

Yeah, but you get a receipt and can carry that with you until it arrives.

Full season you don't get a printable version. Multi day pass you can print pass off and tape it to windshield or carry it with you. I guess they don't want people counterfeiting full season permit using photo shop like multi days 😂. 

Talk to your District Administrator. They should have the numbers.
