july 5, 2024

Each autonomous community in Spain has specific requirements regarding types of licenses, fees, and special permits. Below are the basic steps you'll generally need to follow to apply for your hunting license anywhere in Spain:

License Application

Fill out the form : Complete an application indicating whether you want a regional or interregional license. You must also specify the duration of the license, the start date, and the type of license (which depends on the weapon you will be using and the species you are hunting).
Payment of the Fee : You will need proof of payment of the fee corresponding to your license type. Fees vary depending on the autonomous community, age, and license duration. If you are exempt from paying the fee, you must provide proof of this.

Application Procedure

Hunting license applications can generally be completed online through the portals provided by each autonomous community. Be sure to check the specific requirements of the autonomous community in which you wish to apply for the license and the best method for completing the process.

Necessary Documentation

To obtain a hunting license, you will need to present the following documentation:

Completed Form : The autonomous or inter-autonomous hunting form, duly completed.
Identification : DNI, NIE or passport to identify the applicant.
Certificate of Registration : Document certifying the applicant's residence in a specific location.
Civil Liability Insurance : This insurance is essential in case of accidents. Hunting involves risks, and the insurance will cover third-party damages that may occur during the activity.

Additional Documentation

In addition to the basic documents mentioned above, you may need to submit other forms and documents depending on the type of application and the specific conditions of the autonomous community where you are submitting the application.

Note: It is important to always check the specific requirements of the corresponding autonomous community, as they may vary.
