[C] Licenses & Permits

Beginning October 15, 2024 obtaining a NJ Saltwater Registration requires the completion of a Child Support Certification Form. This is a legislative requirement and has been required when purchasing hunting and freshwater fishing licenses for years.

For more information please visit the NJ Child Support Certification Requirement Information page.

We issue licenses, stamps, and permits for hunting, fishing, and trapping within the state. Purchase licenses and permits online or at license agents. We also issue other permits such as scientific holding and collecting permits, exotic and nongame wildlife permits, zoological permits and special use permits for Wildlife Management Areas.
