Alabama hunters and anglers have a new way to purchase and manage their licenses for the 2026-27 season.
According to AL.com, the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources has launched its new My Outdoor Alabama licensing system, designed to make purchasing licenses, managing accounts and accessing hunting and fishing privileges easier for sportsmen and women across the state.
The new system is available through MyOutdoorAlabama.com and can also be accessed through the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources website and the Outdoor AL app.
What Alabama Hunters Need to Know
If you’ve purchased an Alabama hunting or fishing license before, you won’t need to start completely from scratch. Existing customers can access the new system using their Conservation ID number, date of birth and driver’s license information.
Important records from the previous system will transfer automatically, including:
- Hunter Education certifications
- Game Check records
- Snapper Check records
One thing that will not transfer is saved payment information, so hunters and anglers should be prepared to enter their payment details the next time they purchase a license.
The My Outdoor Alabama website also includes guides to help existing users log in and new customers create an account.
Saltwater License and Reporting Information
There are a few additional details for Alabama saltwater anglers to keep in mind.
Commercial licenses for saltwater species will still need to be purchased in person at Alabama Marine Resources Division offices in Orange Beach or Dauphin Island. There is no presale period for those licenses, which go on sale October 1.
Required harvest reporting for red snapper, greater amberjack and gray triggerfish can still be completed through the Outdoor AL app or online.
My Outdoor Alabama customer support is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week for anyone who needs assistance with the new system.
With hunting seasons approaching across the state, Alabama sportsmen and women may want to take a few minutes to log in, confirm their information and familiarize themselves with the new system before heading back to the woods this fall.
