Commercial Licenses
We take our committment to commerical fishermen very seriously. Assistance in obtaining proper permits and vessel licenses is our priority. Please refer to the suggestions to the right in order to make your transaction smoother.
- It is the Commercial License Holder's responsibility to tell the Agent what licenses and stamps they need. Bring prior-year licenses to aid in this process.
- Call ahead to be sure a qualified employee will be available to assist you.
- Vessels - DMV must first be paid and registration emailed to CDFW at lrb@wildlife.ca.gov. Include Go ID, Vessel ID, Name and any other information you find pertinent. They will enter this into your profile so we can process your vessel licensing.
- Allow CDFW 24-48 hours prior to coming in for your license. This allows them time to update your records.
