DEM Launches New Online Fishing And Hunting Licensing System To Encourage More People To Get Outdoors


A new licensing system that provides more options for buying hunting and fishing licenses was launched this month by the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (DEM).
Implementation of the new system is part of efforts to encourage people to head outdoors and enjoy the numerous recreational opportunities made possible by the sound management of Rhode Island's natural resources and statewide efforts to improve customer service and streamline processes. The system replaces paper-based license issuances and accounting methods and builds upon the current offering of online fishing licenses to include hunting licenses, permits, tags, and stamps. Fishers and hunters are now able to access their accounts 24/7, so they can manage their licenses, add new permits and licenses from the comfort of home, on the go, or even out in the field. To date, nearly 2,800 licenses and over 500 permits have been purchased since the system launched on March 1.
