New Hampshire’s Newborn Lifetime Combination Hunting and Fishing License is a special gift certificate offered by the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department for residents of New Hampshire. It’s the best baby gift ever for the outdoors family! The holder, upon reaching the age of 16, will be able to redeem it for a lifetime New Hampshire freshwater fishing license and (upon completion of the Hunter Education requirement) hunting license.



This is an opportunity to provide newborn children (under one year of age) with perpetual future access to New Hampshire's hunting and freshwater fishing adventures at the one-time price of $300 (plus $4.50 for habitat and agent fees). The child must be less than one year old at the time of application.

Specially designed NH Fish and Game camo-themed onesies, in sizes 6-months and 12-months, may be purchased separately for $19, and make a great gift to be presented with the certificate. Order a camo onesie (green or pink) by using our print-and-mail order form

Purchase of a Newborn Lifetime Combination Hunting and Fishing License gift certificate can be made only at the Fish and Game's headquarters office in Concord, NH, in person or by mail. The application process requires a copy of the child’s birth certificate and a copy of one parent’s (or legal guardian’s) valid N.H. driver’s license or non-driver picture identification. Only copies of the documents should be mailed - the Department cannot be responsible for original documents. Allow 5-10 business days for processing.
