Purchasing Online

The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources is excited to announce the implementation of Go Outdoors SC, a new online licensing and boat titling system.

Through this new system, customers can purchase their hunting and fishing licenses, renew their boats, apply for lottery hunt opportunities and complete electronic harvest reporting requirements.

On June 16, 2024, permits, tags and commercial licenses valid through June 30, 2025 will go on sale.

Nongame fish tags purchased before June 16, 2024 will expire June 30, 2024.

To view your account or purchase licenses, permits, and tags online, register or renew your vessel, check your vessel application status, apply for lottery hunts, and more visit Go Outdoors SC.
