The Alaska Department of Fish and Game’s revamped online store is the go-to place for all fishing (and hunting) licenses, and it now offers two new features. 

“Fishermen, both sport and commercial, can now print their licenses at home. They can purchase it online, immediately print it and go out fishing,” said Michelle Kaelke, financing and licensing supervisor for the department.

“They can buy it before they go out to the fishing grounds, or if they’re traveling from Seattle or wherever, they can have everything ready for when they head up to Alaska,” she added.  

Another first: printing out multiple licenses.  

“Now you can buy for your whole family in one transaction, with different options,” Kaelke explained. “One can have a fishing and a hunting license, or a commercial crew license, and one can just have a sport fish license or a big game tag.”

The print-and-go licenses will also be a huge plus for Alaska seafood processors.
