Example: I am an Active a Duty military member who is stationed in Alabama. I have a Florida drivers license. How can I purchase a Resident Hunting license online? If I put Florida as my state of residency, then he system won't allow me to purchase a Resident license. If I put Alabama, then the system wants a valid Alabama drivers license. 

Step-by-step guide

  1. All military members with out of state driver's licenses must purchase a hunting or fishing license in person. You can purchase a license at the following locations:
    1. your local probate office
    2. Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources License Commissioner's office


    MILITARY PERSONNEL, including spouse and dependents living with them:


    • Receive resident license privileges with copy of orders assigning them to Alabama and a military ID card.

    • Are not required to present Alabama Driver’s License.

    • Must present a valid U.S. driver’s license; otherwise, the license must be purchased at a Probate or License Commissioner’s office.

    • If assigned to another state (GA, FL, etc.) but living in Alabama, may apply for resident privileges after 90 days and using the same evidence of residency as a nondriver.
