Fishing licence issuance
Source: BUS Rheinland-PfalzIf you want to fish, you need a fishing license. This is issued by the municipal administration on request, provided that you have passed a state fishing examination or there are facts that make it unnecessary to take the fisherman's examination (see fisherman's examination).
For fishing, you also need a fishing permit from the fishing license or fishing tenant of the respective body of water.
The fishing license is issued for one calendar year (annual fishing license) or for five consecutive calendar years (five-year fishing license) upon presentation of the state examination certificate.
Young people between the ages of 7 and 16 can obtain a (yellow) youth fishing license (for 1 year in each case) without an examination. However, fishing is then only permitted when accompanied by the holder of a (blue) annual fishing license.
Upon reaching the age of 14, young people can acquire a (blue) annual fishing license, which entitles them to fish independently and unaccompanied, provided they have passed the state fishing examination. Participation in the examination is possible from the age of 13.
Persons who have reached the age of 16 and are unable to take a fishing examination due to a physical, mental or psychological disability can obtain a (green) special fishing license. Fishing is only permitted when accompanied by a holder of a (blue) annual fishing license.
In Rhineland-Palatinate, the license is issued by the public order office of the municipality, association of municipalities or city administration responsible for the place of residence.
