Canary Islands Fishing Offices

Canary Islands fishing offices are located in the capital of each island.  If you want a fishing licence, go early (they open at 9 in the morning). In the summer it gets busy, plus the offices work only till 1 o’clock. During the rest of the year, they’re open till 2 o’clock. Another reason to go early is to have enough time to pay the fishing fees. Many bank tellers won’t attend you after 11 a.m. unless you’re a customer. If you arrive after this time, the bank staff may “invite” you to go elsewhere. Offices are shut on weekends, holidays, and other days, like Christmas, New Year’s Eve, and local holidays.

Canary Islands Fishing Website: How to Order

If you are already a national or a resident of Spain, you can order online directly from the Canary Islands government website. You will need a smart card reader, and your residence card (with an embedded chip). All you have to do is to insert your card in the card reader, go to their website and follow the instructions.

If you aren’t a Spanish resident, you must choose the offline option (“Presencial”), present the application form, fishing fee payment slip, and document in person at any Canary Islands fishing office. We will happily do everything for you if you prefer not to run around. Just choose one of the following licences:
