Application for fishing permit - authorised signatories

Now parties can apply for a fishing permit in a user-friendly and simple way. During the process, all official documents that need to accompany the application are retrieved automatically and the permits are paid for at the end of the process. The permits are then issued on the same day and made available in digital mail if necessary.

In order to be able to apply for a fishing permit digitally, the fishing operator can choose to log in as a company when he logs in with his electronic ID. See more information at Ísland.is.
It will no longer be possible to apply for a fishing license through Uggi. If parties encounter problems with the application process, you can get more information by sending an email to fiskistofa@fiskistofa.is.
