AUGUSTA – The 2009 Maine hunting and fishing licenses now are available for purchase.
Licenses are available using MOSES, the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife’s online licensing system at https://www.informe.org/moses.
MOSES is used at more than 275 licensing agents statewide.
At this time, only 2009 season licenses are available online.
With MOSES, hunters and anglers can purchase licenses at any time of the day or night and print their licenses from your home or office computer in just minutes.
The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife has partnered with InforMe to operate MOSES. In recent weeks, the system has been upgraded. With its new look, license buyers will notice some new features. Now it’s easier to print duplicate licenses. And, by clicking on “express user,” the system will maintain your information for future license purchases.
Any resident, non-resident or “alien” sportsperson looking to hunt or fish in Maine can use MOSES.
The online service is not available for individuals who need to obtain a Complimentary, Lifetime, Military license, or those from countries other than the United States or Canada.
MOSES is easy to use. License buyers will need to have their personal information, such as first and last name, address, date of birth, and other pertinent information. Also, they’ll need their previous hunting license number or safety course number (if purchasing a hunting authority), and a credit card number. Visa, Mastercard and Discover cards are accepted.
By purchasing online, buyers are saving the department the costs associated with the expense of manual paper licensing. These savings then can be applied to the important management of fish and wildlife resources.
