Government Launching New Digital Fishing & Hunting Licensing System

From Ontario Newsroom

Launching in early 2027, FishHuntON will provide residents with more convenient and flexible ways to access licensing services, including a new easy-to-use mobile app. The new system will operate alongside existing service channels, ensuring residents can continue to access licensing services that work best for them.

FishHuntON will provide approximately 1.5 million anglers and hunters with new ways to conveniently keep track of fishing and hunting licences and tags. Highlights of the new licensing system include:

• a free mobile app to purchase and renew fishing and hunting products
• digital storage through the mobile app of licences and tags, which can be accessed with or without cellular service
• the ability to submit proof of Ontario hunter accreditation documents digitally
• an easier way to submit hunter reports

Alongside these new features, FishHuntON will continue to deliver core services such as the sale of Ontario Outdoors Cards, licences, tags and big game draw applications online and in-person at private issuers and participating ServiceOntario locations.
