MN DNR’s electronic licensing system for fishing and hunting to open June 9

ST. PAUL (KVRR/FOX9) — Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is set to launch a new electronic licensing system in June.

The first phase opens on June 9, starting with fishing and hunting licenses.

The updated system gives users three ways to buy a license, including through the mobile app, online, or in person at a licensed agent.

Licenses can also be carried in three ways, including on paper, as a pdf or stored on the app.

Users can register harvests from anywhere, even without cell service.

The new platform replaces a licensing system that has been used in Minnesota for more than 25 years.
