In 2024, anglers in Wyoming have the convenience of printing their fishing licenses from the comfort of their own homes. The Wyoming Game and Fish Department (WGFD) offers an easy online system for purchasing and printing fishing licenses, making it a breeze to get your paperwork in order before hitting the water.
Purchasing Your Wyoming Fishing License Online
To purchase your Wyoming fishing license online, simply visit the WGFD website and navigate to the “Licenses & Applications” section. From there, you can select the appropriate license type and complete the transaction securely. The process is straightforward and user-friendly, allowing you to obtain your license in just a few clicks.
Once your payment is processed, you will be able to instantly print your fishing license. The license is valid from January 1st to December 31st of the current year, so you can plan your fishing trips well in advance.
Printing Your License Immediately
One of the best features of the WGFD’s online licensing system is the ability to print your license immediately after purchase. This eliminates the need to wait for your license to arrive in the mail or make a trip to a physical location to pick it up.
To print your license, simply click on the “Print License” button after completing your purchase. Your license will be displayed in a printable format, which you can then send to your printer. Make sure to keep your printed license with you whenever you go fishing, as it serves as proof of your legal right to fish in Wyoming waters.
Reprinting Your License
If you have already purchased your Wyoming fishing license and need to reprint it, you can do so easily through the WGFD website. Simply log in to your account or enter your sportsman’s ID number to access your previously purchased products.
From there, you can select your fishing license and choose the “Print License” option. Your license will be displayed in a printable format, ready for you to print and carry with you on your fishing adventures.
Using Electronic Licenses
In addition to printing your license, you also have the option of carrying an electronic version on your mobile device. Starting in 2024, the WGFD will accept electronic versions of fishing licenses and Conservation Stamps on mobile devices.
To use this option, simply save the JPEG image of your license to your phone’s photo gallery or cloud storage that you can access without cell service. When asked for your license by law enforcement, you can present your mobile device for verification.
Keep in mind that an electronic receipt is not proof of license in the field, so make sure you have your license saved and accessible on your device before heading out to fish.
Conclusion
Printing your Wyoming fishing license has never been easier thanks to the WGFD’s online licensing system. With the ability to purchase and print your license instantly, you can spend more time enjoying the great outdoors and less time worrying about paperwork.
Whether you choose to print your license or carry an electronic version on your mobile device, make sure you have your proof of licensing with you whenever you go fishing in Wyoming. Happy fishing!
