Review Hunting licenses
ID number required:
Electronic License System (ELS) requires that Minnesota residents 21 years of age and older furnish a driver's license number or public safety identification number as proof of residency. Minnesota residents who do not have one of these identification numbers must obtain one before purchasing a hunting, fishing or other license from the DNR.
Minnesota Residency Requirements:
In order to qualify as a resident, an individual must have maintained a legal residence in the state for at least 60 days prior to applying for or purchasing a license. Anyone 21 years of age or older, must possess a current Minnesota Driver's License or a current Minnesota Public Safety ID.
Stamps and Licenses:
The actual pictorial stamp is not required for trout/salmon fishing or for hunting. Hunters and anglers are required to purchase the terminal-issued stamp endorsement. Pictorial stamp may be purchased for an additional $.75.
