The physical transfer of striped bass tags must be approved by the Commissioner of Marine Resources and the information regarding the transfer must be noted on the permits that go with the tags. Both parties must agree as to whether the transfer is permanent or temporary. When you are ready to proceed with the physical transfer of tags call (757) 247-2245, for information on how to proceed with the legal transfer.
