Replace a recreational fishing licence (1-year or 3-year)

Introduction

A NSW recreational fishing fee receipt (licence) can be either:

• a plastic card, or
• a digital copy you carry on your smart phone. 

You must always have your receipt with you when you fish.

If your plastic receipt has been lost, damaged or stolen, you can apply for a replacement online. 

You will need to pay a processing fee to replace a plastic card.

For a list of fees go to recreational fishing fees. For information on fishing in NSW go to NSW Primary Industries website.
