An Arizona 1-day fishing license costs $15 for residents or $20 for nonresidents. Choose the Short-Term Combo Hunt and Fish license for your date. It runs from midnight to midnight on the selected day.
Arizona 1-Day Fishing License Fees
| Angler | Selected day | General annual |
|---|---|---|
| Resident | $15 | $37 |
| Nonresident | $20 | $55 |
The Arizona Game and Fish license fees list the day option as a combination license. The state generally requires a valid license for public waters from age 10. Arizona residents who are legally blind are exempt.
Select the Right Date
- Sign in to the AZGFD licensing portal or buy from an authorized dealer.
- Select the Short-Term Combo and check that the displayed date matches the day you will fish.
- Save or print the issued license and carry it at the water. Select coverage for both dates if you plan to fish on both sides of midnight.
Where the Day License Applies
The combination license covers eligible fishing statewide, including designated Community Fishing waters. Check the exact water for limits, closures and bait or gear rules in the Arizona fishing regulations.
For a longer trip, compare the three-day cost and the general annual license.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Arizona day license valid for 24 hours after I buy it?
It covers the selected calendar day from midnight to midnight. It does not start a rolling 24-hour period when you buy it.
Can I buy a license for a future day?
Yes. Select the date of validity at purchase and verify it on the issued license.
Is the daily license the cheapest for a single trip?
At standard adult prices, one daily license costs less than a general annual license. Anglers ages 10 to 17 can buy the $5 Youth Combo instead.
