NY State license

[Squid]

Just curious as to who has a NY state fishing License.

[douG]

I've had one in the past, Squid, but it has lapsed. Why for you ask?

[Guest Fishing For Life]

Hi there,

 

i would like to know the price as well

perhaps, regulations too

 

Thanks!

[Terry]

I would think most people in NY state that fish would have one

 

but that is just a guess and I have no hard facts

 

I hope that helps

Peter is looking for boat mates for the Niagara and wants to fish both sides!!!

[Squid]

You may purchase sporting licenses and permits:

On-line*,

at any license issuing outlet (most town clerks' offices and many sporting goods stores),

by phone:* 1-86-NY-DECALS (1-866-933-2257), or

by mail: VERIZONbusiness, P.O. Box 36985, Phoenix AZ 85067-6985 (download a mail order application form (41 kb pdf) If you purchased a sporting license through our computerized licensing system last year, please include the 12-digit Customer ID Number from your license privilege panel in the space provided on the top of the form.

* In order to apply for a hunting license by phone or on-line, you must have proof of hunting qualifications already in the computerized system (currently anyone who has been issued a New York State hunting license through DECALS since August of 2002.) Internet customers will need their Customer ID Number which can be found on the previous year's license. NYS residents must also have your NYS driver's license number recorded in the DECALS database in order to apply on-line.

 

Please allow up to three weeks for delivery when purchasing licenses or permits by phone, mail, or on-line.

License types that require special qualifications, cannot be ordered via the internet or by phone (i.e. disabled veterans, active duty military applying under the Patriot Plan, NYS residents who do not hold a valid NYS driver's license, young hunters between the ages of 12 and 15 [must appear in person with a parent or legal guardian with proper sportsman education certification and proof of age, if applying for the first time]). Applicants may bring their proof of qualification to a license issuing outlet or use the mail-in method.

 

For more information see hunting license requirements.

 

What identification or proof of residency will I need to purchase a license?

For hunting and trapping licenses, proof of a prior license or appropriate sportsman education certification

NYS residents applying in person or by mail may use one of the following proofs of residency:

 

 

Your NYS driver's license or a NYS non-driver's identification issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles

an IT-201 or W-2 income tax form for the previous year

a current voter registration card

a current NYS vehicle registration

a current lease

military LES (Leave and Earnings Statement) or military orders

a current student ID card

a current pay stub or letter from a current employer on letterhead containing your legal address

Applying for a Deer Management Permit (DMP)?

DMPs may now be applied for at all license issuing outlets, by phone, by mail, or on-line.

 

DMPs must be applied for between August 13 and October 1, 2007. During this period DMPs will be issued via a random selection process, not on a first-come, first-served basis.

Make sure you know what Wildlife Management Unit (WMU) you want to apply in before beginning the application process and be familiar with the DMP selection process. You will be allowed to apply for up to two DMPs.

If you are applying as a disabled veteran (40% or higher service-related disability), bring your Veteran's Administration letter with your case number with you when you apply.

If you are applying as a landowner (50 acres or more contiguous acres within the WMU for which you are applying), have your tax map identification number and SWIS code (found on your tax bill) ready when you apply.

If you were rejected for a permit last year and have a preference credit for the upcoming hunting season, this information is stored in the DECALS database and will be automatically applied during the application process.

If you apply at a license issuing outlet, by phone, or on-line, you will know the results of the instant lottery immediately. Mail-in applicants will receive notification in approximately three weeks.

 

Customers who are selected will receive their tags immediately if applying at a license issuing outlet, or by mail in approximately three weeks if applying via other methods.

 

More about Purchase a Sporting License:

Sporting License Customer ID Number - Your Customer ID Number may be found on your previous year's license. It is located under the bar code on the License/Privilege panel and may also be found under your name on carcass tags.

Internet Sporting License Sales - You may purchase sporting licenses and permits through DECALS via the internet, but you will not receive your license in the mail for 7-10 days.

I've got one...$40/yr for a Non-Resident license.

[steverowbotham]

40/yr for non-resident .... 15 for a day pass

[charlesn]

Also there is a $25 for a 1-week non-resident license option.

 

Gander Mtn's bait shop is open at 5 AM if you're in a crunch and need a license that day.

 

For bass addicts like me, it is a must, otherwise you can't legally fish for bass until June which is crazy.

I find it almost a must to have both a NYS and Ontario fishing license when fishing the Niagara as well as Lake Erie. Better to be safe than sorry............ My friends have been telling me fishing in the upper river has been slow along with Buffalo harbor.
