Child fishing licence

Description

If you plan to take your child fishing in Spain, it’s essential to know that a child fishing licence is required in some regions. This licence allows children under 14 years old to legally fish in areas where licences are necessary, such as the Canary Islands. However, not all regions have the same rules.

For instance, in the Balearic Islands, children can fish without a licence, making it an easy option for families. Meanwhile, in the Valencian region, children can fish as long as an accompanying adult has a valid fishing licence. This area includes popular coastal regions like Valencia, Alicante, and Castellón. In these cases, the child can share the rod with the adult.

Who Needs a Child Fishing Licence?

Age: The licence is for children aged 0-14 years. If your child falls within this age range and you’re fishing in a region that requires a licence, this is the permit you’ll need.

Required Documents

To apply for a child fishing licence, we will need:

• The parent’s passport (or ID card)
• The child’s passport or national ID card (only the front side is required)
• A signed parent’s authorization allowing the child to fish. We will email it to you after you place your order.

How Long Does the Licence Last?

The licence is valid for 4 years, meaning you won’t have to worry about renewing it frequently. This is especially convenient for families who visit Spain regularly or plan extended stays.

How Long Does it Take to Process?

This licence is processed quickly. It typically takes only 2-3 working days to get processed and emailed to you, making it easy to plan your fishing trips without much delay.

Where Is the Licence Valid?

The Government of Catalonia issues this licence, valid nationwide in Spain. It covers freshwater and seawater fishing in Catalonia, while it only applies to seawater fishing in other regions of Spain.

Enjoy Fishing Legally with Your Child

By securing a child fishing licence, you can ensure your child enjoys a memorable and fun fishing experience in Spain’s beautiful waters—without legal concerns.
