Licenses and Permits

Attention

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s (CDFW) License and Revenue Branch, located at 1740 N. Market Boulevard in Sacramento, is being relocated to the newly constructed California Natural Resources Agency building in downtown Sacramento by October 2021. The new location will not have a public license sales counter.

Various licenses, permits, tags, and other entitlements continue to be available for purchase using the following sales channels:

• In person, through independent license sales agents (such as a local sporting goods store, large discount store, or a bait and tackle shop). Search for a license sales agent near you.
• Online, through CDFW’s Online License Sales and Services website. View the variety of items that can be purchased online.
• Over the telephone, through CDFW’s authorized Telephone Sales agent at (800) 565-1458.
