Fishing piers do not sell fishing license, you can also go to Sports Authority.

I always get mine online, they will give you a temporary license number you can write down until your real one comes in the mail. Takes about 5 min and is affective immediately. https://www4.wildlifelicense.com/fl/start.php

phino wrote:ok, thanks for the replies everyone, one more question, i can purchase multiple licenses right? one for my friend, one for my dad, etc? since they will be at work and I am doing the run, or is it one per person (which I do not see why they would)? Thanks for the information, will pick it up later today so tomorrow I can go fishing. :happyfisherman:
One per person, they have to show their drivers license and sign it. If you buy them online, they will need to enter their social security number, drivers license number or other personal info.
