Lifetime LicensesGeorgia lifetime licenses cover all sport
hunting and fishing licenses, except for the Federal Duck Stamp and
the free Federal Harvest Information Program Permit. Deer hunters
also must pick up a Deer Harvest Record from a license dealer prior
to hunting each year. Lifetime licenses are valid for the life of
the person, even if they move out of Georgia. People who purchase a
lifetime license will receive a colorful, plastic license card.
Senior license holders (65 years and older) may purchase the plastic
card for a $10 processing fee. You must be a Georgia resident for at
least 12 months immediately preceding the application for the
lifetime license and provide proof of residency in order to be
eligible for this license.

lifetime license application (requires
Adobe Acrobat) and send it, with your payment, to the address on
the application.
