As of January 1, 2011, if you have a
saltwater recreational fishing license or registration from
any state
or U.S. territory EXCEPT
Hawaii, Puerto Rico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands, you are
AUTOMATICALLY
registered and do not
need to take further action. Please be sure to follow all
laws and regulations in the waters in
which you are fishing.
If you
fish in Maine,
Maryland,
Massachusetts,
New
Hampshire, New
Jersey, or Virginia,
please be aware there are
new state fishing license and registration
requirements. Please check with these states before
registering with NOAA. If you meet these state
requirements,
you are automatically
registered with NOAA.
The link below will also help you figure
out if you need to register. The fee for NSAR registration
is $25.00 for most people.
Registering is quick and easy, and you can register and fish
the same day.

fee.
