Overseas Customers
Overseas customers wishing to buy a full, senior concession or short term rod licence in advance of their visit, should purchase them via the website. In the event that you do not receive the full licence in the post (and we do not issue short term licences purchased online), it is essential that you keep your confirmation email as your proof of purchase and use this when you go fishing. If you are applying for a disabled concessionary licence, please contact us directly, either via our website or by calling us on our general enquiries number. You can find our contact details by clicking the ‘Contact us’ link at the top of this page.
All other overseas customers wishing to use a rod and line to fish will need to buy a licence on their arrival in England or Wales using the address they are staying at during their visit
