Here you can buy recreational fisherman’s licences and angler’s licences, renew fishing licences and log in as a fisherman or a point of sale.

You are an angler if you fish with rod. You are a recreational fisherman if you fish with nets or other stationary tools.

The address of The Danish Fisheries Agency etc. is mentioned at the bottom of the page.

All prices stated for fishing licences etc. include fees and costs of delivery. No VAT is levied on fishing licences.

If you buy a fishing licence, the system saves some pieces of information. This includes, among other things, name and address information, CPR no. (if stated), e-mail address (if stated), fishing number, type of fishing licence, validity period for fishing licences, registration date of the information and receipt code for payment.

The information about purchase of fishing licences is saved for 5 years after the purchase. If the fishing licence is renewed, the information is saved for 5 years from the date of renewal. If the fishing licence has not been used/renewed, the information will be deleted after 5 years.
