FISHING
LICENSE (SALTWATER AND FRESHWATER)
Resident - Each resident of the State of Mississippi ages sixteen (16)
through sixty-four (64), fishing in the fresh or marine waters of Mississippi,
including lakes and reservoirs but NOT to include privately owned ponds and
streams, shall be required to buy a fishing license. A saltwater license is
required south of U. S. Highway 90 and a freshwater or saltwater license is
valid between I-10 and U. S. Highway 90. Saltwater license is not valid north
of I-10. Any person sixty-five (65) or older, or any person otherwise exempted
from obtaining a fishing license, must have documentation with him/her at all
times while fishing as described in
Exemptions. [MS. Code
49-7-9]
Non-Resident - All non-resident anglers, except minors under
the age of sixteen (16), are required to obtain a fishing license while fishing
in the fresh or marine waters of the State of Mississippi.
EXEMPTIONS
Residents who are blind, paraplegic, a multiple-amputee, adjudged totally
disabled by the Social Security Administration or totally service connected
disabled by the Veterans Administration are not required to purchase a HUNTING
OR FISHING LICENSE. [MS. Code 49-7-5 and 49-7-9]. Residents exempt based on this
criteria are required to have proof of their age, residency, disability status
or other physical impairment in their possession while engaged in hunting and
fishing activities. All exempt licenses previously issued for DISABILITIES are
null and void.
PROOF OF RESIDENCY
ONLY PERSONS DOMICILED WITHIN THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI AS DEFINED IN
SECTION 49-7-3 OF THE MISSISSIPPI CODE, AS AMENDED, ARE ENTITLED TO OBTAIN A
RESIDENT HUNTING/ FISHING LICENSE.
Under this section, a person’s domicile is that person’s principal or primary
home or place of abode. Provided, however, a person holding a current
driver’s license is deemed to be domiciled within the state that issued the
driver’s license. Even if a person currently resides within the State of
Mississippi, for purposes of obtaining a hunting license, he/she is considered
to be domiciled in the state which issued the driver’s license.
I. IF YOU HOLD A CURRENT DRIVER’S LICENSE:
a. If you hold a current MISSISSIPPI driver’s license, you are entitled to
purchase a resident hunting license.
b. If you hold a driver’s license from any state other than Mississippi, you are
required to purchase a non-resident hunting license.
II. IF YOU DO NOT HOLD A CURRENT DRIVER’S LICENSE FROM ANY STATE:
You are entitled to purchase a resident hunting license if Mississippi is your
principal or primary home or place of abode. A current Mississippi resident
income tax return or a home stead exemption receipt may be considered as
evidence of domicile, but these are not necessarily determinative. You may be
denied a resident hunting license if you fail to provide adequate proof.
EXCEPTIONS
Even if you are domiciled in another state, you may purchase a resident hunting
license if you provide either (1) a current identification card from a
Mississippi college or university; or (2) a current military ID card showing
that you are an active member of the Armed Forces (excluding Reserves and the
National Guard) and proof that you are stationed on a military base in
Mississippi.

A. A valid driver’s license; or
B. Copy of birth certificate
MISSISSIPPI LIFETIME LICENSE

the State of Mississippi for a minimum of eighteen (18) months immediately prior
