The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation is rolling out a new digital licensing system for hunters and anglers on Monday that features a mobile app for smartphones.

Melinda Sturgess-Streich, assistant director of the Wildlife Department, said the new system will be more convenient and user-friendly for Oklahoma sportsmen and women.

Hunters and anglers will be able to possess their licenses and buy licenses through the mobile app. Android users will be able to download the app beginning Monday, but the app is pending Apple's review for iPhone users.

“You will be able to have your license on the phone," she said. "That is a big change versus having to carry a paper license with you.”
