MOREHEAD CITY – Spring is the time for renewal – for trees, for flowers and commercial fishing licenses. Beginning in May, commercial fishermen can renew their licenses via the mail or by visiting any of the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries offices in Elizabeth City, Columbia, Wanchese, Washington, Morehead City and Wilmington.
Approximately 9,000 license renewal packages have been mailed to commercial fishermen for the upcoming commercial fishing year, which begins July 1, 2006. The applications are already filled out - fishermen just have to review them, make needed corrections, and return the forms and the payment by mail, or in person, to any DMF office.
License holders are encouraged to take advantage of the convenient mail-in renewal process to avoid waiting in line. If fishermen renew their licenses through the mail by June 15, they should receive their new licenses prior to July 1. Fishermen who choose to renew their applications in person are reminded to bring in current licenses and photo identification.
All DMF license offices will be closed Tuesday, May 23, so staff may attend a training workshop.
For more information about N.C. commercial fishing licenses, please call 252-726-7021 or 888-254-2024 (toll free).
