Confirm Eligibility Before Applying


The form requires qualifying Arizona residency, proof of age and a signed residency declaration. It lists accepted identification documents and additional proof that may be requested. The agency reviews applications before issuing the license.
Use the instructions on both pages. Ask AZGFD about the submission method, your eligibility and any additional privileges before paying. See the Arizona lifetime license law for the rule on keeping the license after a move.
Compare the Lifetime Price With Annual Fishing


At the current $37 annual resident price, a $296 lifetime license costs the same as eight annual licenses. That is a simple fee comparison; future prices and how often you fish can change the result.
See the general annual price guide and the Pioneer License eligibility guide before committing.
