NIC Adds Auto-Renewal Licenses to Outdoor Recreation Services

Mississippi is one of the first states to offer auto-renewal options for licenses purchased through all methods of sale.

JACKSON, Miss.--()--NIC Inc. (Nasdaq: EGOV), one of the country’s leading hunt and fish licensing providers, recently added auto renewal licenses to its library of outdoor recreation digital services. Jackson-based Mississippi Interactive, LLC, an NIC company, partnered with the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks to launch an all new Hunting and Fishing Licensing System and Customer Dashboard, allowing outdoor enthusiasts to opt-in to auto renew their annual hunting and fishing licenses. The new system is the first instance of a state offering automatic renewal for all license holders, regardless of purchase method.

“Mississippi’s new automatic renewal option for hunting and fishing licenses is a great example of how NIC employees and their government partners are using technology to enhance the citizen experience,” said Harry Herington, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board for NIC Inc. “The service is an innovative addition to the cutting-edge outdoor recreation licensing services NIC has been providing for nearly 20 years.”

Currently, one out of six hunting licenses is sold through an NIC system. Along with outdoor recreation licensing and auto-renewal options, NIC has developed solutions for campground reservations, game tagging, electronic park permits, and numerous websites and applications for outdoor enthusiasts.

Earlier this year, the Pennsylvania Game Commission and the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission signed a 10-year agreement with the Company to provide a new licensing technology platform. With the addition of Pennsylvania, the Company will process nearly 15 million outdoor recreation transactions annually and become the largest provider of hunting licenses in the United States. According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Pennsylvania ranks second in the nation with 2.6 million hunting licenses, tags, permits, and stamps sold in 2018.

“Pennsylvania, and all of our government partners will benefit from our expertise in this area throughout the country,” said Harry Herington. “All of us at NIC are excited for the future of outdoor recreation digital services, and the best-in-class innovative solutions that will continue to create convenience and efficiencies, and make it easier for citizens to enjoy the outdoors.”
