The hunting license and the falconry license are documents with which the holder proves his right to hunt. They are issued by the lower hunting authority responsible for the applicant's place of residence (the district administrative authority) as a one-year, three-year or one-day hunting license for 14 consecutive days.
The hunting license can be issued to anyone who has reached the age of 18.
- Persons who have reached the age of sixteen but are not yet eighteen may only be issued a youth hunting license . The application for a youth hunting license requires the consent of the legal representative.
- Young people who have reached the age of 16 may be issued a youth falconry hunting license ; however, they may only hunt with an accompanying person who is experienced in hunting.
In addition to submitting the application in person to the district administrative authority, the application can usually also be submitted to the town or municipality in which the applicant resides, which will forward the documents. Many district administrative authorities also offer the relevant application form on the Internet.
Information on the issue and renewal of hunting licenses or falconry licenses can be obtained from the competent lower hunting authorities.

Reliability and suitability
A hunting license/ falconry license is to be denied in particular if facts justify the assumption that the applicant does not possess the required reliability or physical aptitude.
The first issue of a hunting license is generally dependent on the applicant having passed a hunting examination within the scope of the Federal Hunting Act, which consists of a written, an oral and a practical part. Information on the hunting examination can be found under "Related topics" under "Hunting examination; application".
The first issue of a falconry hunting license is dependent on the applicant having passed a falconry examination in addition to the hunter examination. In addition to the falconry test, a limited hunting test, i.e. without a shooting test, is sufficient. Information on the hunter's examination can be found under "Related topics" under "Hunting examination; application".
Hunting liability insurance
The issue of a hunting license/ falconry license is dependent on proof of sufficient hunting liability insurance. To this end, the applicant must submit written confirmation from the insurer stating that the named insurer has hunting liability insurance for the named policyholder that complies with the statutory provisions (in particular the sum insured). Furthermore, the start and duration of the policy or the period of validity of the confirmation must be stated. The period of validity must fully cover the daily, one-year or three-year hunting license applied for.
