Source: NCDENR, 4/15/21 The Division of Marine Fisheries will begin mailing renewal packets for
fiscal year 2022 commercial and for-hire fishing licenses and permits this week
and is asking fishermen to complete and return the applications without delay. Division offices have been closed to the public since March 2020
to help minimize the spread of COVID-19, and the division is facilitating
license purchases and renewals using mail and a combination of mail and
no-contact drop boxes. The division does not anticipate that its offices will reopen to
the public prior to June 30, 2021, when fiscal year 2021 commercial and
for-hire licenses and permits expire. Due to the potential delays that mail
processing may cause, it is important that fishermen not wait until the last
minute to renew. As an alternative to mail, fishermen may submit completed applications with payment (check, cashier’s check, or money order only) in drop boxes provided at the following division offices:
