Lifetime Licenses

Lifetime licenses

The FWC issues lifetime licenses to Florida residents for hunting, freshwater fishing and saltwater fishing.  Funds generated from the sale of these licenses are invested, creating an endowment to support the long-term conservation of Florida's wildlife and fisheries resources.

For avid sportsmen who want the convenience of securing licensing, once and for all, for all your hunting or fishing activities, the lifetime license is for you.  Your lifetime license will remain valid for use in Florida even if you move out of state.  For hunters and anglers who like a bargain, the cost of a lifetime license is less than what you would spend on annual licenses, permits and fees.  The earlier you make your purchase, the bigger the savings.  The lifetime license is for parents, grandparents and family friends who want to pass on the joys of outdoor recreation to young people and help ensure that today's youth have the natural resources to share hunting, freshwater fishing and saltwater fishing with their children.

The lifetime license is for conservationists who want to contribute to the long-term management of Florida's natural resources.  Only the interest from the trust fund is appropriated. The principal is held in perpetuity to ensure future funding for fish and wildlife programs.  This endowment will ensure that Florida's natural resources are conserved today for the future and that your children can pass on your family's hunting and fishing tradition to their children.
