You may either print double sided or print separate pages and attach the pages together. If you carry your licence in electronic form (for example on a cellphone) all pages must be able to be immediately displayed and read on a screen.

The National Recreational Licensing System (NRLS) will be updating the current payment system to Moneris Checkout in the coming months. This will allow the use of credit cards, credit debit cards (NEW), and embossed pre-paid credit cards that bare an expiry date. If you are unable to pay using the available options online, you may alternatively purchase a Tidal Water Sport Fishing licence in person through Independent Access Providers throughout the Province. Please see the following website for current Independent Access Providers: https://www.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fm-gp/rec/licence-permis/iap-fai-eng.html.
