Where to buy and what you need
Fishing and hunting licences run April 1 to March 31 (2026-27 year). Fishing licences are sold online and in person at a Department of Environment office (legal name, birth date, phone, address and government photo ID). Residents can renew a hunting licence online and non-residents can get one online; new resident hunters apply in person at an Environment office with documentation, and applications are processed within 10 days from April 1, 2026. Licences are tied to an Environment client ID (online eServices account).
