Rhode Island Hunting and Fishing Licenses Now Available Online

Business Wire
The Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (DEM) is
proud to announce the launch of a new licensing system that allows
outdoor enthusiasts to obtain fishing and, for the first time ever
in the state, hunting licenses online.
The new system, found at https://www.ri.gov/DEM/huntfish, was
developed as a customer-centric solution geared towards giving
customers streamlined, on-demand access to the licensing process.
The system replaces paper-based license issuances and builds upon
the current offering of online fishing licenses to include hunting
licenses, permits, tags, and stamps. A customer’s first transaction
through the new system establishes a Rhode Island Fishing and
Hunting ID, or RIFHID (pronounced Rye-fid). This identifier is
unique to each customer and can be used to quickly purchase
additional licenses and permits, reprint lost or damaged license
documents, and renew licenses in subsequent years. The system can
be accessed 24/7, allowing customers to manage their accounts and
add new permits and licenses from the comfort of home, on the go,
or even out in the field.
Licenses are still available for purchase at DEM's Office of
Boating Registration & Licenses in Providence, RI and
participating sales agent locations across the state. The new
online system provides agents with a unique interface they can use
to look up customer information, add permits to a customer’s
profile, and download reports of the agent’s sales.
"We're excited to offer this expanded online system as we work
to make all of our great outdoor recreational activities more
accessible than ever before," said DEM Director Janet Coit. "This
launch means there's no more waiting for regular retail hours or a
delay until a fishing or hunting license arrives by mail. I am
proud of the work our team continues to do to support these
treasured Rhode Island traditions and to expand opportunities for
children and families to get outdoors, enjoy nature, and
participate in healthy activities."
To date, nearly 32,480 licenses and more than 12,197 permits
have been purchased since the system launched on March 1.
Currently, resident and non-resident customers are able to purchase
freshwater fishing, recreational saltwater fishing, hunting, and
combination freshwater fishing and hunting licenses, as well as
trout stamps and spring turkey permits. Additional licenses and
permits, including deer, migratory bird, and small game permits,
are scheduled to go on sale in the coming months.
The online Hunting and Fishing system was developed by DEM in
conjunction with the state’s digital government services provider,
Rhode Island Interactive (RII), at no cost to taxpayers. RII
previously partnered with the DEM to issue the online freshwater
fishing license, which has been active for more than 10 years, and
the online and vendor based system to issue saltwater fishing
licenses since 2010. This new system joins a popular suite of
online services developed by RI Interactive currently available at
https://www.RI.gov and the DEM website at www.dem.ri.gov.
