Do I need a printer to purchase a license online?
Yes 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 the Conservation Officer can view the information contained and a photo ID can be presented. It is your responsibility to print your license, it will not be mailed to you.
