online license problem!

[mr marbles]

Has anyone had a problem with buying there fishing license online lately on the Mn dnr site?

Bought my wife one online about two weeks ago without any problems.

Never an issue to date. Last one purchsed a few weeks ago.

Yeah its strange for me too, ive bought a sportsmens combo license for many years and this year im just buying the individual fishing license and after giving my drivers # and ss# it wont go to the next page that has your personal info from the dnr, strange!

My dad was having that same issue a few weeks ago. He finally got fed up and drove the 3 miles to buy one over the counter.

Seems so much easier to just stop by the bait store or gas station on your way to the lake and let them handle it!

To each his own I guess...

Yep thats what ill do, had no problem buying my South dakota license a couple weeks ago, we pounded the walleys out there!! cant wait till the Mn opener! then onto st louis river! thanx everyone good fishin!

DNR website has been having issues as of late, some of the stores that sell licenses have been having problems since the

new database the state is using after it scans your drivers

license looks for any violations and there have been problems

with the national database.

Hope they get the problems fixed soon, took 2 days for me to find a store that was able to finally issue it. This was 2 weeks ago.

finally figured it out , it didnt accept my birth date by typing it in then i used the calendar next to it and it worked fine , duh! Have a fun opener everyone!

The new DNR licensing system will not allow any person to have more than one record in the database. If there is more than one record in the database, the DNR and only the DNR must correct the problem. To be safe, buy your license during normal DNR business hours so that if a problem is experienced, it can be fixed. The DNR is staffing up late tonight, 05/14/10, and will have staff on during the fishing opener on Saturday during the day. Good luck fishing.

They are still having this problem online.  The individual angling license isn't even listed once you get to the page where you try to select the license you want to buy.  Typical Minnesota government.  Doesn't work!

I have purchased my licenses online for the past few years and have no issues...maybe it is operator error?

I've never bought one online either in 25 years.  Even a holiday gas station sells them.  They aren't hard to buy in person.

sensitive subject for you smurfy?   seems like your response has some passion to it...I buy online cuz it is simple and convenient for me.  I would guess the money all ends up in the same pot.

Money probably does except for the service fee. And the state probably paying for 3rd party services .
