EZ File Permit Applications
Online Permit Applications for Fishing and Boating
The following fishing and boating permit applications can be submitted through DEEP's online ezFile system:
- Inland Fishing Tournament/Derby
- Marine Fishing Tournament/Registration
- Marine Event
- Importation of Live Fish or Live Fish Eggs
- Liberation of Live Fish or Live Fish Eggs
- Special Regulations on Association Controlled Waters
- Private Waters Registration
We encourage you to use the ezFile application process. However, if you do not have access to a computer, you may still submit a paper-based application.
Note: Processing time for paper-based applications may be longer than for applications submitted through ezFile.
Benefits of using ezFile include:
- Access to view pending and approved applications/permits for activities at state-owned boat ramps.
- Pending applications or approved permit applications can be used as a template for new applications.
- Applications can be “shared” so that one or more individuals can enter necessary information.
- One-click mapping to identify exact locations of proposed fishing or boating activities.
- Pre-populated drop-down lists to facilitate appropriate selections.
- Email confirmation of submission, DEEP decision on the application, and reminders of required reports.
