BUYING GEORGIA FISH LICENSES
There are several ways for you to purchase a Georgia fishing license.
• Buy in person at license dealers statewide including WRD/CRD offices; State Parks; marinas; major retailers; sporting goods, bait & tackle, and hardware stores.
• Internet sales are also available 24 hours a day/7 days a week at www.gofishgeorgia.com
NOTE: Social Security Number is required for the purchase of all licenses.
WHO NEEDS A FISHING LICENSE
Anglers age 16 and older must have a current Georgia fishing license in their possession while fishing in fresh or salt water in Georgia. Conservation Rangers may require identification when checking fishing licenses.
EXCEPTION: A fishing license is not required to fish in private ponds (does not include ponds owned by governments-city, county, state, or federal) nor by a landowner and their immediate family when fishing on their land.
Residents:
• Proof of residence, such as a Georgia driver's license, is required to purchase a resident fishing license.
• For purposes of buying a fishing license, residents are U.S. citizens living in Georgia for a least three months and includes out-of-state college students living in Georgia. Students may use a current Georgia student I.D. as documentation. Residents also include full-time, active duty military personnel who are stationed in Georgia or who list Georgia as their home of record, and their dependents.
• A free hunting and fishing license may be issued once for military veterans discharged from active duty on or after July, 1 2005 who were on ordered Federal duty for a period of 90 days or longer. Valid for 12 months from date of issue. More details may be found at www.gofishgeorgia.com under "Fishing License Information"
• Residents 65 years of age or older: May fish with the Senior (65+) Lifetime License. This license can be obtained free from license dealers by furnishing proof of age (driver’s lic., birth certificate, etc.).
• Permanently and totally disabled: Residents may obtain a Disability Honorary Combination Hunting and Fishing License by applying to the License Unit (800-366-2661). Proof of disability must accompany the application. Proof of disability may come from the U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs, Social Security Admin., Railroad Retirement System or other government agency.
• Blind persons: May apply for a Lifetime Honorary Fishing License and must provide a Physician’s Certification of Blindness with the application.
Nonresidents:
• Nonresidents 16 or older, regardless of physical condition, must have a valid nonresident Georgia fishing license to fish in Georgia freshwater and saltwater, except in private ponds.
• Nonresidents under 16 do not require a fishing license or trout license.
