Lifetime licenses are also available for purchase at Wildlife District
Offices and online
COLUMBUS, OH – Beginning Tuesday, Oct. 9, hunters and anglers will be
able to buy multiyear licenses in Ohio, according to the Ohio
Department of Natural Resources (ODNR). Ohio resident license buyers
can choose from 3-year, 5-year, 10-year and lifetime hunting or fishing
licenses.
All single-year and multiyear licenses can be purchased online at
wildohio.gov and at hundreds of participating agents throughout the
state if an Ohio driver license or state identification is associated
with the customer’s account.
Those interested in purchasing a lifetime license may apply online or
at any of the ODNR Division of Wildlife’s five district offices or
headquarters in Columbus. Locations of ODNR Division of Wildlife
offices can be found at wildohio.gov. Lifetime licenses cannot be
purchased at license agent locations at this time.
Prices for multiyear and lifetime licenses are as follows:
• Youth 3-year hunting - $28.60
• Youth 5-year hunting - $47.58
• Youth 10-year hunting - $95.16
• Youth lifetime hunting or fishing - $430.56

• Adult lifetime hunting or fishing - $468
• Senior 3-year hunting or fishing - $28.60

Youth multiyear and lifetime licenses are available to any Ohio
resident 17 years old and younger at the time of purchase. Senior
multiyear and lifetime licenses are available for Ohio residents age 66
and older born on or after Jan. 1, 1938.
All money generated from the sale of multiyear and lifetime licenses
will be deposited into the Wildlife Fund, where it will be used to
protect and enhance Ohio’s wildlife populations.
A hard-plastic card will be provided to lifetime license buyers, and
these cards will be available for purchase at an additional cost of $4
to customers who purchase a multiyear license. Cards will be mailed to
the customer’s address in seven to 14 days from the purchase date.
Beginning Jan. 1, 2019, a Lake Erie permit ($11) will be required for
all nonresidents to fish Ohio waters of Lake Erie from Jan. 1-April 30
each year. Money generated by this permit will be used for specified
purposes related to the protection and improvements of Lake Erie, such
as combating invasive species, securing public access and providing for
fish management projects in Lake Erie.
In other changes, apprentice hunters who have not yet completed hunter
education will no longer be limited to purchasing only three apprentice
hunting or apprentice fur taker permits. Apprentice hunters can
continue to purchase an apprentice license each year until they
successfully complete hunter education.

resources for the benefit of all. Visit the ODNR website at ohiodnr.gov.
