User-Friendly and Mobile-Ready, Maine’s Online Hunting and Fishing License Service Gets a Makeover

Business Wire
The State of Maine’s Online Hunting and Fishing License service
(www.maine.gov/huntandfish) has been enhanced to streamline the
purchasing process and add the ability to use the service on mobile
devices.
The service now provides the capability for users to purchase
licenses for up to three people in one transaction, eliminating the
need to supply your credit card number multiple times when
purchasing for friends or family. If a user is purchasing a
license as a gift, they are given the option of providing a special
message, which will be emailed directly to the recipient along with
the link to the license. Emails will be sent immediately
following the payment, or the user can specify a future date to
send.
In addition to the new purchasing options, the updated service
has also decreased the number of steps it takes to make a purchase
and clarified the instructions on how to complete various fields,
including an individuals’ hunter safety information.
“This enhancement eliminates unnecessary steps and presents new
purchasing options,” commented Bill Swan, Director of Licensing for
Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. “We have listened to user feedback
over the years regarding the service and this update gave us the
opportunity to implement some changes based on that feedback and to
improve the customer experience.”
The new version of the online service has been redesigned to
work on any screen size so that citizens can easily purchase their
license on smartphones, tablets, laptops or desktop computers.
“Mobile availability is no longer an afterthought when creating
an online service or website, it’s becoming a necessity,” stated
Maine’s Chief Technology Officer Greg McNeal. “Individuals now
expect the ability to access information or a service from wherever
they are, and this enhancement greatly increases that
accessibility.”
The hunting and fishing license service has continued to grow
since its original launch back in 2003. Each year, roughly 40% of
the hunting and fishing licenses sold in Maine are purchased
online, accounting for over 1.45 million license sales to date.
The online service was developed at no cost to Maine taxpayers
and was created by Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, in partnership
with the state’s eGovernment portal provider, InforME, and the
Maine Office of Information Technology.
