OLYMPIA — The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) announced today that its new digital licensing app, My-WDFW, will be launching soon in alignment with the 2026 license year.
“We’re committed to ensuring everyone finds belonging in the outdoors,” said WDFW Director Kelly Susewind. “This app modernizes how hunters and anglers access licenses in Washington, improves customer experiences, and ultimately helps prioritize people’s time where it matters — enjoying Washington’s great outdoors.”
“We’re also excited about the advancements this app brings for real-time harvest data collection and support for long-term fish and wildlife conservation,” Susewind added.
When MyWDFW launches to the public soon, it will be free and available from Google Play and Apple’s app stores.
The MyWDFW app is a comprehensive mobile licensing tool for both hunters and anglers. It supports license purchases, displays active hunting and fishing license privileges, and enables electronic tagging for a wide range of game species, including deer, elk, turkey, and black bear.
App users can report migratory bird harvests and submit end-ofseason harvest reports, with most features available offline. Other functionalities incorporated into MyWDFW and soon available to Fish Washington include catch record cards for select fish species and an Enforcement View for WDFW officers, along with access to customer licensing (WILD) profiles.
App users who opt to become a mobile license customer will have valid mobile license products at the start of the new license year on April 1, 2026.
