Iowa unveils new hunting, fishing license app

By Iowa Department of Natural Resources

The Iowa DNR has unveiled new technology available for hunting and fishing licenses.

The Go Outdoors Iowa app launched in February 2019 to make it easier to purchase licenses, manage profile information, apply for quota hunts, and report harvests.

Public users will be able to log in to a customer profile with a mobile cellular or internet connection to edit customer details, purchase new licenses, reprint licenses, set up license auto-renew, report a harvest or submit quota hunt applications.

The app can be downloaded free through Google Play or the Apple App Store. It allows users to purchase and access their hunting and fishing licenses at any time as well as renew licenses, view hunting regulations, report harvests and view current sunrise/sunset times.

A new collectible hard card is also available for purchase in two different designs—a largemouth bass or a pheasant. The designs were created by native Iowa artist Bruce Gordon.

The durable hard card costs $5 and includes purchased licenses printed on the back for the year. The cards can be purchased online or in person and will be mailed out after purchase. New designs on the hard card will be unveiled each year.

Customers may continue to visit any license agent location to purchase their licenses and permits.
Additional information about the new licensing system is available here.
