You can purchase a license for yourself or for family and friends on this page. If you wish to purchase for a family member or friend, you must have all necessary profile information for that person. Once you have purchased a license for another person, that person will be listed automatically on this page. This allows you to purchase for that person in the future without needing to reenter all their information.

Residency Confirmation

Every time you purchase a license you will be asked to verify residency. This is to verify eligibility for resident licenses and prices. You may also review and edit your contact information from this page.

On the license selection page you will be given a list of licenses for which you are eligible. On the left side of the page you will see a running total for the licenses you select. In some cases, selecting a license may cause other licenses selections to become unavailable. For instance, if you select a combination license, the fishing licenses will become unavailable, because the combination license includes fishing.
