Purchasing a license through the online system is easy and takes about five minutes. Users only need to complete a short online identification form, select their license privileges, pay by Visa or MasterCard, and print their license. Within minutes, a hunter can have his or her license in hand. The process also allows hunters to participate in federal services such as the Harvest Information Program (HIP). As an added convenience, hunters are no longer limited to purchasing their licenses during business hours. The system is available 24 hours a day and seven days a week, eliminating headaches and missed opportunities.
"It's one less thing that I have to worry about," said Rob Hutchins, an Alabamian who enjoys hunting dove and deer. "I've been planning to go hunting this weekend, but wouldn't have had the chance to go out and buy my license. Since I could purchase it online this year, I'm ready to go."
In addition to hunting licenses, the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources also offers state fishing licenses through the same Web site. "Anglers, too, can take advantage of the same convenience enjoyed by Alabama's hunters when it comes to purchasing their licenses online," said Commissioner Lawley.
