Vessel License Application for the 2013 Area 2A Halibut Fishery

Vessels in Alaska and British Columbia no longer need a license from the IPHC. Federal and State licensing requirements, though, must still be fulfilled.

Please be aware of the following policy change when submitting your application:

Applications must be signed by the vessel owner. Applications completed and signed by the vessel captain, if different from the owner, will not be processed.

NOTE: If you made a commercial landing or held an IPHC Sport Charter License last year, you will automatically be mailed a renewal form.
