Preparatory Steps
Check your age and status against the Michigan licensing requirements. Children under 17 don't need a license, but they can buy a voluntary license to help support the Michigan Department of Natural Resources fishing projects. Professional guides and other commercial fisherman will need a special license.
Confirm that any specific fish species you're after are in season during the time you'll be fishing in Michigan. Some fish require special licenses or can only be kept during certain times of the year.
Scan the Michigan Department of Natural Resources Fishing Guide, which is available online. Pay attention to any special sections that describe you, your fishing party or any activities in which you want to engage.
Buying Remotely
Go to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources E-license page.
Click the "I Certify" button on the bottom of the page, after selecting the radio dial choice for identity.
Complete the step-by-step process as directed by the website. You can pay with major credit or debit cards. As of 2011, expect to pay between $7 and $15 for your Michigan fishing license.
Buying On Site
Find a local fishing license agent. Most sporting goods and many grocery or department stores offer this service, as do many fishing guides and boat rental outfits. You can also find a list of current license agents at the Michigan Department of Natural Resources website.
Ask to buy a license. The clerk will ask you to fill out a short form. Fill 1 form out for each adult family member, and 1 form for each youth for whom you want a voluntary fishing license.
Pay your fees, and buy your license.
