Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks sells blind residents a lifetime fishing license for a one-time fee, and this one-page application under MCA 87-2-803(6) is how they qualify. An eye doctor certifies that the applicant meets the state-law definition of blind, the applicant adds residency details and a copy of a Montana ID, and FWP issues the license once the complete form is returned.
The applicant completes Section 1, including years and months of Montana residency and an original signature. Section 2 must be completed by a licensed physician, which the form specifies as an ophthalmologist or optometrist, who signs and prints their name, license number and address.

Resident Lifetime Fishing License for the Blind Application
A form is listed only after its name and number were confirmed on the issuing agency’s or insurer’s own website, or in the form itself. Each entry links to that source. The list was last checked in October 2026. Forms and their requirements change without notice, so check the official page for the current version before you complete one.

Section 2 must be completed by a licensed physician, and the form names ophthalmologists and optometrists. The certifier reads the state-law definition of blind printed on the form, certifies that the applicant meets it, then signs and enters a printed name, address and license number. FWP will not process the application without this section.
It is a lifetime resident fishing license bought for a one-time fee, so the eye doctor's certification is needed only for the initial application. The applicant must have lived in Montana for at least 180 consecutive days before applying and must attach a photocopy of a valid Montana Identification Card.
