E-Duck Stamp Available September 1

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) will be making it easier for hunters, bird watchers, stamp collectors and others who want to conserve the nation's wetlands to buy Federal Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamps, commonly known as Duck Stamps.

Beginning Sept. 1, the FWC, in partnership with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), will launch a new E-Duck Stamp program to enable the agency to sell stamps electronically through its automated licensing system.

{sidebar id=1}Customers will receive a Duck Stamp privilege printed on their license that will be valid nationwide for 45 days.  They will then receive, through the mail, a paper stamp by Amplex Corporate, a company on contract with the USFWS to fulfill the paper stamp requirement.  After the 45 days, the E-Duck Stamp will expire and purchasers must possess the paper stamp to receive its full benefit.

The E-Duck Stamp will fulfill the license requirement for waterfowl hunters and also allow free entry into any national wildlife refuge in the United States.  The Federal Duck Stamp is available at most major sporting goods stores selling hunting and fishing licenses, select post offices and online through the U.S. Postal Service and Amplex Corporate.  The Duck Stamp also will be available at license agents, tax collectors, by telephone, or through www.wildlifelicense.com/fl .  Hunters 16 years or older are required to buy a Federal Duck Stamp to hunt waterfowl.  The cost of the Duck Stamp will be $17.50.
