Marine Resource Commission License Agents

This web page lists independent agents that sell commercial fishing gear licenses, including licenses for limited recreational use of commercial gear.  Click here to see a list of licenses sold by the Commission.  The independent agents listed below can sell all licenses listed.  Note that fixed fishing devices, shucking house and menhaden gear licenses must be pre-authorized by Marine Police Officers prior to license purchase, the commercial registration licenses can only be sold by the main office, and the saltwater recreational fishing licenses that are sold by DGIF.  Click here for a list of Law Enforcement Field Offices where you can get more information on pre-authorizing the fixed fishing devices, shucking house and menhaden gear licenses.  MRC Automated Agents are noted below - these agents run the Commission's automated licensing system for MRC licenses; they are the only agents that can sell fixed fishing device licenses (pound nets, fyke nets, staked gill nets, crab traps) and the new aquaculture licenses in addition to the other MRC licenses.

Click here if you would like information about the saltwater recreational hook&line licenses sold by Department of Game and Inland Fisheries agents on behalf of the Commission.  Note that the agents marked below with an asterisk are DGIF agents and can sell recreational saltwater H&L licenses, as well as the Commission's commercial gear licenses.
