State opens new web portal for buying hunting, fishing licenses

Signing in to buy hunting, fishing and trapping licenses will look different the next time you do so because of a new state online portal called Access Indiana.

The new portal is a safe, secure and easy to use way for citizens to interact with all facets of state government through a single login. Presently, there are 18 services that users can enter from Access Indiana – a full list is available at this link.

Individuals who already have an Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) account to purchase licenses should watch for an email from the DNR that will provide helpful login information. New DNR customers will be directed to create an Access Indiana account first, before supplying additional DNR-specific account information.

To prepare for the transition, customers can create an Access Indiana account today at access.IN.gov. For help getting started with Access Indiana, click here. If a user needs additional assistance with their username or password, call 800-457-8283 for Access Indiana customer support. The DNR is unable to assist with usernames and passwords.
