Specific South Dakota Fishing Licensing Information. You can purchase your license by visiting your local sporting goods or as easy as getting on the internet and clicking on a few buttons.
If you are a US or Canadian citizen, you can purchase any over-the-counter license online. You must be over 16 with a valid Social Security Number ( not required of Canadian citizens), a credit card and a printer. Parents may purchase youth permits for their children, but they must provide their own ID information in addition to that of their child. See Our Privacy Policy.
Those who need to present some other form of physical documentation (e.g. a Residency Declaration for Student and Military Personnel - if you are a non-resident student attending school in South Dakota or a non-resident serving in the military stationed in South Dakota - or alternate ID for Non-US or Non-Canadian citizens) must purchase their license from a storefront agent. Non-US/Non-Canadian Citizens who need to purchase their hunting license in advance of entering the US should contact us at 605-773-3485 for special arrangements. You must use a Drivers License or State-issued ID card as your ID, except in the case of youth hunters (under age 16) who must use their Hunter Safety Certificate as an ID. Non-resident youth who will only be purchasing a fishing license, and who do not have a Hunter Safety Certificate, should enter their birth date (mmddyy) followed by their initials in the Hunter Safety Certificate ID, (e.g. 011290DGJ).
