New WDFW hunting and fishing license system is up and running

The state's new recreational license sales system became operational last week.

The new system began selling hunting and fishing licenses and the Discover Pass on the evening of Dec. 18.

People who have questions or difficulty using the system should call the Licensing Division's customer service desk at 360-902-2464 between 7:30 a.m. and 4:45 p.m. on weekdays, or send an email to licensing@dfw.wa.gov.

License fees did not change with the release of the new system. Most license items for the 2017-18 license year, which begins April 1, 2017, will be available for sale in the new system in mid-January, 2017. Until then, all products for the 2016-17 license year will remain available.
