Arizona Game and Fish’s E-Tagging App syncs your licenses and tags to the app and allows hunters to electronically tag their harvest in the field. Digital licenses and tags display key hunter information—including physical description, residency, address, and legal hunt details—and can be shown to law enforcement for verification in the field. By opting into the paperless E-Tag option, hunters can store all licenses and tags in the app, complete the electronic tagging process, enter harvest transportation details, and submit their harvest survey information. This modernized system improves customer convenience, supports effective law enforcement, and provides higher-quality harvest data to biologists and commissioners to ensure responsible wildlife management.

Currently, that includes the following: • Display licenses, permits and big game locking-tag records – The mobile app allows you to purchase and view your hunting, fishing, trapping, and most combination licenses. You can also obtain big game locking-tag records, commercial crewmember licenses, hunting permits, harvest tickets, and some personal use fishing permits.
