Yes, it’s fair because legal residency needs to be proven when obtaining a legal document like a fishing license.
BTW if he has been leaving there for ten years, then he must be pretty slow not to have gotten out of state yet. ChanceEncounter

Being a resident of a state means you get the benefits of being a citizen of your particular state, for example cheaper hunting and fishing licenses. But the states require a picture I.D. for proof of residence. dumdum

An id proves that he is a resident and he can get a fishing license for the regular price. So if he cant prove it then he will pay the outer state price cause some people will cheat the system like that. I think he should try Rite Aid Store, Sports Authority cause its more convenient. tas

Resident means a person who resides in the state for the required number of years.
Proof of residency is required as most states will charge a resident less for a fishing license and more
for a non-resident.
Also, charges for commercial fishing and recreational fishing also differs. Hazel H
