Florida residents aged 65 or older only need a Florida driver's license or identification card to prove residency and age. They are not required to purchase the following recreational licenses and permits:

   -Saltwater fishing, freshwater fishing and hunting licenses
   -Snook, lobster, deer, management area, muzzleloading, turkey, archery, crossbow, *Florida waterfowl and migratory bird permits.

The Resident 65+ Hunt/Fish certificate is available at no cost online at GoOutdoorsFlorida.com or in person at our public service office, but it is not required. While a license is not required for resident seniors, they should keep proof of age and residency while participating in these activities.

* The exemption does not apply to the federal duck stamp or tarpon tag.
