Post Office geared for fishing licence stampede
Be the early bird and catch the fishing worm
With the holiday season approaching, the SA Post Office is gearing up for a substantial increase in fishing licence applications.
Coastal post offices will experience the highest demand, but inland holidaymakers planning a trip down to the coast this festive season should be proactive and apply at their local post office before embarking on their holiday.
All post office branches nationally have stocked up on licences.
The highest number of fishing licences issued during any month was December 2020, when the SA Post Office sold more than 86 000 fishing licences. The process is quick.
The applicant fills in an application form and receives a receipt from the post office teller that needs to be kept with the licence.
An original identity document must accompany applications.
The general permit conditions stipulate that the holder should have his identity document available for inspection purposes when using the fishing permit.
