Ontario Outdoors Card
You need an Outdoors Card before you can buy license tags to fish or hunt in Ontario.
There are two types of Outdoors Cards. If you want to fish only you’ll need a fishing-version Outdoors Card; if you want to hunt only you’ll need a hunting-version Outdoors Card. If you want to both fish and hunt you’ll need a hunting-version Outdoors Card. In all cases you will need to purchase license tags for the fish or game you wish to pursue, and carry them with your Outdoors Card. If you already have an Outdoors Card make sure it is up to date. You may need to renew an old card.
In order to get your first Fishing Outdoors Card, you’ll need to have the following information:
- Your first and last name
- Your date of birth
- Your mailing and residential address
- Your height and eye color
