HOW TO GET A FRESH WATER FISHING LICENCE FOR THE VALENCIA REGION

Licences for fresh water fishing in the Valencia area can be obtained with a wait of up to 3 weeks from one of the 2 main fishing tackle shops in our area—These are:

EURO PESCA 2000 - Avenida De Los Palacias Formentera [Rojales].

TORRE PESCA - Playa del Acequion Torrevieja [by the beach].

These tackle shops will get licences for you for a fee, 

To obtain the licence at all outlets you will need 2 completed application forms, together with photocopies of your Residencia,  NIE Number and your Passport, these copies they will keep. They will not do any photocopies for you. 

HOW TO GET A MURCIA FRESH WATER FISHING LICENCE

This is more difficult to obtain than a Valencia Licence as it must be done in person. In the first instance you must be in possession of a certificate of fishing insurance and now they have changed it and you must have an NIE number. The insurance can be obtained from Mapfre, Axa and some other insurance companies. You then go to the Town Hall [Ayuntamiento] in San Pedro de Pinatar, which is the first town in Murcia going down the N332. I understand that some other Town halls in the region will do this service for you also. The licence in Murcia is for 1 or 5 years and the cost of a 5 year one is 76 Euros. You will need to take with you copies of your Residencia, NIE number, Passport and the original one, a copy of your fishing insurance and if over 65 and a resident, a copy of your SIP card that has PN on it [ not all have] and / or a copy of your Prescription document which states that you are a pensionista and have to pay 10% of your medication costs. If you have to pay for the licence the town hall will give you a form to take to a local bank to pay. Return to the town hall and collect your licence. Please make sure that you take photocopies of all your relevant documents with you.
