Purchasing
your hunting and fishing license anytime, anywhere just got easier.
Maine
Online Sportsman’s Electronic System, more commonly known as MOSES, the
Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife online license purchasing program
is now quicker, easier to use and packed with new features.
Best
of all, its fully mobile and accessible on your smartphone, ideal for those
times you travel to your favorite hunting or fishing spot but forgot to buy
your license. You can also use your smartphone to display your license,
eliminating the need to print out and carry a paper copy.
License
buyers can now purchase licenses for up to three people in one transaction, and
if you are purchasing one as a gift, you can even provide a special message.
Fewer steps and clarified instructions make it quicker and easier than ever.
The
new MOSES automatically reformats to work on any screen size, so that customers
can purchase their licenses on smartphones, tablets, laptops or desktop
computers.
“These
improvements eliminate unnecessary steps and presents new purchasing options,”
commented Bill Swan, Director of Licensing for Inland Fisheries and
Wildlife. “We listened to user comments regarding the service and these
changes should improve our customer’s experience.”
“Mobile
availability is no longer an afterthought when creating an online service or
website, it’s becoming a necessity” stated Maine’s Chief Technology Officer,
Greg McNeal. “Individuals now expect the ability to access information or a
service from wherever they are and this enhancement greatly increases that
accessibility.”
The
hunting and fishing license service has continued to grow since its original
launch back in 2003. Each year roughly 40% of the hunting and fishing
licenses sold in Maine are purchased online, accounting for over 1.45 million
license sales to date.
The
Department is funded through the sale of hunting and fishing licenses.
Funds from license sales benefit all wildlife species, including nongame as
well as endangered and threatened species. Funds are used to ensure a healthy
fish and wildlife population, which benefits local jobs and economies; and
provides access to woods and waters. The department sells over 400,000
hunting and fishing licenses annually.
The
online service was developed at no cost to Maine taxpayers and was created by
Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, in partnership with the state’s eGovernment
portal provider, Informe, and the Maine Office of information Technology.
