New 2025 Fishing Licenses Now Available

Now is the time of year for anglers and hunters to buy new fishing and hunting licenses. Most Minnesota fishing, hunting and trapping licenses for 2024 expired Feb. 28. Licenses for 2025 are now available wherever fishing and hunting licenses are sold, online  and by telephone at 888-665-4236. Online buyers can print the license or choose to receive a text or email that when displayed on a mobile device serves as proof of a valid fish or game license to state conservation officers.

As you prepare to purchase your new fishing license for the 2025 season, remember lifetime fishing licenses are also available! Whether purchased for yourself or as a gift for someone else, lifetime fishing licenses make it easy for everyone to enjoy a lifetime of fun on the water.

The lowest rates are for children under age 4, but we also offer reduced rates for those under age 16 and over 50. Plus, if license prices increase or the license holder moves out of state, lifetime licenses remain valid.
