Trouble Using LDWF Wildlife License Website?
 
Anyone having any problems using the new website to purchase your licenses?

I tried to use the new app, since you are supposed to be able to save your license to your phone, and it keeps giving me an error message and saying that there is "no valid driver's license on file".

Is WLF trying to tell me I'm illegal or something? :confused::confused::confused:

It is down statewide.

Go back to Mexico.

But the free health care.........

Well that just blows, looks like I have to go buy my damn license at Wal-Mart if I'm going to go fishing tomorrow. or are their computers down as well?

I've bought a few licenses at Wal-Mart. That's not gonna be fun this afternoon.

It may be the connection with the DMV is down. The DMV has been having computer problems all summer. I'm not sure of the status. Is there a way to buy with the on-line system without entering your DL number? That could be the ticket.

Can't you call it in?

No because you still have to put in your DL#.

Just read on another forum that a guy went to 3 different stores and none of them could do it, so apparently it is the system that is messed up.

Damn, looks like I won't be fishing tomorrow. :pissed:

It's a conspiracy.....they shut the system down before the holiday so they could bust a bunch of people fishing illegally...

My son was able to purchase his online at appx. 3:22 p.m. with no problems ...

If someone is in need of one today maybe keep trying until it goes through.

He must have lucked out, because I've been trying and have had no luck. Keep getting the same error message.

I've gotten non resident licenses online for Ms and TX with no problems, LA has been giving me this message for a while!

nguyt518 07-02-2015 04:42 PM
Friend tried to get his with an error about not having a valid license, so I tried for myself. Mine went through fine.

"W" 07-02-2015 05:03 PM
Did mine online and worked fine

Smalls 07-02-2015 06:03 PM
Apparently its only affecting certain people. And from what I saw at Walmart, that is 75% of the people. Four of is were there to get licenses, and only one walked away with one. The other three of us got the same stupid error message. The woman said they are updating the system, and certain numbers are affected.

Stupid time to update the system if you ask me.

Guys the systems down at walmart, academy, everywhere. I'll keep trying upto the point of sitting in my boat at the fishing spot.

fishizzle 07-02-2015 06:13 PM
Tried Walmart, online, academy no luck. Was able to get it from the little corner store in Broussard. Good luck!

fonikoddity 07-02-2015 06:14 PM
Maybe I'll have the lake all to myself this weekend!

They going to be spending some time in court fighting to make a ticket stick. I am going tomorrow without a license F um. I have computer history before and after my receipt from Academy. I gave them every opportunity to sell me a license it is not my fault they do not have a back up plan to sell licenses when the computers go down.

I went to Cormie's grocery at about 7:30PM today and they said the system is down state wide so who knows.

Crankbait36 07-02-2015 09:36 PM
The system goes down on the renewel date!

Message from Louisiana Sportsman website....
 
A statewide computer failure of the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries licensing system means licenses that just expired on June 30 will be good through at least Sunday, July 5, according to the department’s head of enforcement.

Speck-killer 07-05-2015 12:31 PM
The state needs to dump that website and start one that's worth a flip. Whoever built that program needs to be fired. It shouldn't be THAT difficult to get a license to obey the law.

LDWF will honor 2014-2015 licenses per their Facebook page:

"Weekend Anglers, our sincere apologies for our licensing system being down for an extended period yesterday. We've been notified that the system is back up and running. For the inconvenience, per the Enforcement Col., If you have a 2014-15 license, it will be honored through the weekend. Happy Fourth!"

I'm late in replying, but know some folks might make that evening fishing trip today.

jl8200 07-05-2015 08:03 PM
I wish I would have known that a couple of days ago. Anyway I was able to get online and do it on the 3rd.
