Fla License info - The Hull Truth

Can I buy my non resident license by phone or online now and set the date for a later date to skip the lines I have heard about whew I arrive on a Saturday in Marathon?

Also will the # I get suffice or do I need the actual license?

You can go to https://www4.wildlifelicense.com/fl/start.php and purchase online. This is the link from http://myfwc.com/license/ I *think* you can establish the start date but you will have to go through the process to be sure. They don't ask for payment until the end.

Remember as well that if you fish with a guide or charterboat you won't need a license since almost every charter operation purchases a license that covers anyone onboard...My license costs me over $200 a year and covers up to four anglers although I rarely have more than two aboard...

You can also phone it in the morning of. You just need a credit card and a pen to write the number down. I have helped several friends buy licences while on the boat.
