Licenses run on calendar year (except temporary types), expiring on December 31st.
Hunting and fishing licenses are legal documents and must be purchased by the licensee. The sportsperson must apply and enter the applicable residency proof. Anyone who makes a false statement to obtain a license shall be guilty of a violation. The Department does not have the authority to refund license monies; refunds or exchanges will not be granted. Gift Certificates for licenses are available at Fish and Game Headquarters in Concord.
Sportspersons without a prior hunting and/or archery license (or NH Safety Certificate) in our system cannot purchase their hunting or archery license on the Internet site or at a Wal-Mart. It must be purchased at a "traditional" license agent showing the prior hunting/archery license or safety certificate equivalent to New Hampshire's.
Although this site is mobile friendly, in order for a license to be valid it must be printed out and signed by the applicant. For fishing licenses (NOT HUNTING) a pdf or other fixed image of a valid license visible on a smart phone is sufficient to comply with the law, as long as a Conservation Officer can view the information contained and a photo ID can be presented.
