DES MOINES, Iowa - The new Armed Forces Hunting and Fishing licenses are now available to residents of Iowa who served in the armed forces of the U.S. on federal active duty.

The new annual fishing license, or hunting and fishing combo license, is $5, with a $2 processing fee. To qualify, veterans will need to submit a one-time application for the Iowa Hunting/Fishing License for Resident Armed Forces Veteran along with a copy of their DD214.

Upon approval, the applicant’s account will be updated to reflect their status. They may then purchase the new license anywhere Iowa hunting and fishing licenses are sold.

Qualifying veterans who have already purchased a hunting or fishing license for 2023 may submit the application, and then purchase the veterans license once their current license expires.

The application is available online at iowadnr.gov/hunting.
