A new DNR mobile app and licensing system are coming soon, giving Minnesotans more options for on-the-go licensing and registration. Here are some highlights of the new system:


MOBILE APPThis mockup is intended for concept purposes only. It may not reflect the final content.

  • Paperless license purchase and harvest registration
  • Offline harvest registration (Cell service or internet not needed)
  • Option to register harvest at agent locations is still available

WAYS TO PURCHASE

  • Licenses can be purchased digitally or in-person at license agents
  • Download your license as a PDF, access it in the app,
    or print it

LOTTERY

  • Apply for hunt, track preferences, and view results
  • Track lottery history

SAFETY CLASSES

  • New system to search, enroll, and pay for education and safety training classes
  • Buy licenses in the same system after you pass safety certifications



HOW TO PREPARE

We encourage all current and past license holders to sign into our current licensing system online and check that all of your information is correct - this will automatically be carried into the new system when it goes live. Click the link, hit "Get started", find your customer record, and check your account information.

Also, you can add your email address to your current account, and you'll be the first to know when the new system goes live!



The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and Minnesota IT Services are working to modernize the state's electronic license system (ELS). PayIt (previously S3) has been selected as a vendor to build the modernized system. To ensure a smooth transition, the project team is analyzing capabilities the new system will need. The team is also identifying any potential issues that may arise with the transition and working to resolve them before the new system is implemented.


Stakeholder Engagement

Stakeholder engagement has been and will continue to be a primary focus to ensure an ELS that best serves the state’s anglers, boaters, hunters, recreational vehicle operators, and people who enroll in DNR safety trainings. You can learn more at our FAQ page where you can sign up to stay informed at https://mndnr.gov/rlp/els.html

Prior to drafting the system requirements, the initial input opportunities were open to license agents, deputy registrars, license buyers, and the general public on their needs and priorities of a modern system. A second round of agents and deputy surveys were completed in January 2024.
