FN0409-COMMERCIAL - Invertebrates: Prawn and Shrimp by Trap - 2017 Licence Issuance Information


2017 Prawn and Shrimp by Trap licence issuance is now available through the 
National Online Licensing System (NOLS) 

Harvesters will use the National Online Licensing System (NOLS) to go online to 
view, pay for and print their commercial fishing licences, conditions of 
licence, and receipts.

Upon the Department receiving the required payment, and information, the 
licence will be issued and notification will be sent via email to advise 
licence holders/vessel owners that a change has been made to the licence 
holder's online account.  The licence documents, conditions of licence and 
receipt will be available to be printed at that time.  
 
Once your request has been processed you will see a 'DFO approved' response 
under the 'Request Status' of your request by logging into your NOLS account.  

For communal commercial licences, even though the fees are $0.00, clients are 
required to add a checkmark beside the licence(s) to renew, and 
click "Checkout" through NOLS.   

For vessel designation, communal commercial licence eligibility holders must 
submit the required information via the 'Submit a Request' menu selection 
within the National Online Licensing System (NOLS). Full instructions are 
available at:
