Buying a hunting or fishing license in South Carolina is easier, thanks to an enhanced recreational licensing system that the state implemented in October 2006. The new hunting and fishing licensing system provides customers three convenient purchasing options:

The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has employed the latest technology and advances in customer service to benefit hunters, anglers and all those who enjoy wildlife-related recreation and activities. Recreational licenses can be purchased online 24 hours a day, seven days a week at a reduced convenience fee of $3 and customers can print the licenses instantly from any computer. Payment is safe and easy as individuals can use their debit or credit card through SC.gov’s secure payment system.

 

“This exciting public-private partnership brings an unprecedented level of ease and convenience to the licensing process,” exclaims John Frampton, director of DNR. “This latest advancement in customer service is part of our commitment to provide convenient, user-friendly services to the public.”

 

South Carolina sells more than 700,000 licenses each year to residents and out-of-state hunters and fishermen. The new system provides enhanced reporting capabilities that will save time for sales agents and DNR employees.

 

The multi-channel service was built at no cost to taxpayers through a partnership between DNR and South Carolina Interactive, a Columbia-based subsidiary of eGovernment firm NIC and a private sector partner that manages the state’s official Web site.
