How to Get Your BC Freshwater Fishing Licences

For Non-Residents and International Visitors

Note: You must have a Basic Licence in your cart before you can add Classified Waters licences.

Step 1: Get Your Credentials

1. Register for a BCeID: Create a free “Basic” account at BCeID.ca.

2. Generate your FWID: Log into the BC WILD System using your BCeID to get your permanent Fish & Wildlife ID.

Step 2: Buy Your Basic Licence

1. Inside the WILD System, select “Buy Fishing Licences” → “For Myself.”

2. Select your residency status and duration (1-day, 8-day, or Annual)

Step 3: Add Classified Waters (If Required)

Non-resident Classified licences are river and date-specific.

1. Select the specific River (Class I or II) and your Dates (max 8 consecutive days).

2. If Guided: Enter your guide’s Angling Guide Licence Number.

3. If Unguided: Select “No.” (Check availability early as unguided quotas for certain rivers can sell out).

4. Complete Checkout: Pay via credit card or debit.

Step 4: Carrying Your Licence

• Digital: Your FWID and Photo ID are sufficient for basic fishing and classified waters.

• Paper: You must carry a printed paper copy if you have a Conservation Stamp or intend to keep fish, as harvest records must be recorded in ink.

Pro Tip: If you are booking a guided trip, your guide can now purchase these licences for you if you provide them with your FWID and legal name!
