New Iowa Veterans Hunting, Fishing Licenses Available

DES MOINES, IA – Iowa DNR is offering a new Armed Forces Hunting and Fishing license to Iowa residents who served in the armed forces of the United States on federal active duty. The new annual fishing license, or hunting and fishing combo license costs $5 with a $2 processing fee.

To qualify, veterans will need to submit a one-time application with a copy of their DD-214 online at iowadnr.gov. Upon approval, the applicant’s account will be updated to reflect their status. The license may then be purchased anywhere Iowa hunting and fishing licenses are sold. Qualifying veterans who have already purchased a hunting of fishing license for 2023 may submit the application, then purchase the veteran’s license once their current license expires.
