Title: Lost License
Post by: BigFisher on July 30, 2011, 10:19:14 PM

I realized I dont have my fishing license, can I retrieve it online or do I need to find out my angler number and bring it to the tackle shop? Thanks.
Also where online will I find it?

You need your angler number to print out another.

Ryan,
go here https://j100.gov.bc.ca/pub/ras/Default.aspx?PossePresentation=MainMenu&PosseObjectId=98315493 (https://j100.gov.bc.ca/pub/ras/Default.aspx?PossePresentation=MainMenu&PosseObjectId=98315493) to retrieve your angler number if you don't remember it.

Then here https://j100.gov.bc.ca/pub/ras/Signin.aspx?Continue (https://j100.gov.bc.ca/pub/ras/Signin.aspx?Continue) to log in.

After you have reprinted your license you have the option to send a pdf copy of it to your email address. A good idea is to keep a pdf copy of your current license on an online login type email address (such as hotmail, gmail, etc) where you can access it from anywhere with internet access. Or keep a copy on the hard drive of your computer.

CM's suggestion only works if you bought the licence on the computer by yourself. If you bought the licence through the tackle store, go back to the store and they will print out a new one for you.

on a related subject does anyone know if the CO's will accept an electronic version of the license?
If I save it as a pdf on my smart phone does that work? 
I change vests and jackets so much I worry about leaving the license in one or the other.
I know I could print off multiple licenses, but I always have my phone and it would make sense to be able to use it as backup.
