Apply Online
Greater Atlantic Region dealer permits for the 2022 permit year expire on December 31, 2022.
As of October 17, 2022, the Greater Atlantic Region switched over to using Fish Online for all dealer permit renewals. We are no longer mailing or accepting paper applications.
Fish Online is our secure online system that allows dealers a way to login using their own username and password, which is associated with their email address. Fish Online also allows owners to give access, or “entitlements,” to their office managers and other trusted people so they can submit and manage a dealer’s information through their own account.
- Seafood dealers need to apply for and print their 2023 dealer permits from their secure Fish Online user account. This includes all permit holders, without exception.
- We are no longer mailing issued permits, but they can be printed from the dealer’s Fish Online account.
- A valid paper dealer permit is still required to be present and maintained at the dealer’s premises at all times.
