How to Order

Before purchasing a recreational license or permit, please make sure you understand what qualifies as Florida residency and that you're read the exemptions to determine if you really need a license or permit.  If hunting, make sure you have met the hunter safety requirement.

Annual recreational hunting and fishing licenses and permits are valid for 12 months from the date of purchase or the alternate starting date if selected at the time of purchase, unless otherwise specified on the face of the license.

If you have a major credit card, the FWC offers you 2 ways to buy your hunting or fishing license without leaving your home.

With either method, you'll have a temporary license number within minutes, enabling you to hunt (in season) or fish right away.  Your permanent license will be mailed within 48 hours.
