For the News Albertans will enjoy the benefits of purchasing and printing their own hunting and fishing licences online thanks to a new Internet licensing system being introduced by the Government of Alberta.
“Alberta is the first province to introduce complete online licensing for both hunting and fishing,” said Ted Morton, Minister of Sustainable Resource Development. “This new online system will be an innovative new way for Alberta’s hunters and anglers to access the province’s abundant hunting and fishing opportunities.”
Starting immediately, anglers will be able to purchase and print sportfishing licences online at their convenience, 24 hours a day, seven days a week at https://www.albertarelm.com/.
Beginning in June, hunters will be able to purchase all draw applications online and then check their results online in August. Alberta offers more than 150 different types of hunting licences that will be available online starting in August.
Applications for new Wildlife Identification Numbers (WIN) and renewals of WIN cards can also be made online.
WIN card holders will also have the option of providing their e-mail addresses so that information on future hunting and fishing opportunities can be sent directly to their e-mail account.
