Renew a Jagdschein in Saxony-Anhalt

Responsibility

Untere Jagdbehörde (district or independent city)

Compile documents: Compile all required documents: previous Jagdschein, current proof of insurance for the renewal period, if applicable a photograph (if a new Jagdschein booklet is issued) and, if applicable, proof of participation in a practice shoot.
Submit application: Submit the renewal application to the untere Jagdbehörde of your district of residence, in person, by post or (in some districts) online. Passport photos and the previous Jagdschein may need to be submitted by post.
Wait for the reliability check: The authority checks your reliability; this process can take 8 to 10 W weeks. Therefore apply for renewal in good time before your current Jagdschein expires.
Receive the renewed Jagdschein: After a successful check, the Jagdschein is renewed (entry in the existing booklet or issue of a new Jagdschein booklet) and handed to you or sent to you.

Youth hunting licence for people from 16 up to under 18 Jahre.
Only entitles you to hunt when accompanied by a person with parental responsibility or a hunting-experienced supervisor authorised in writing by that person.
Participation in driven hunts is excluded.
Written consent from the person with parental responsibility is required for the renewal.
A youth hunting licence is available for 1 year (40,00 €) or 2 Jahre (60,00 €); a 3-year youth hunting licence is not explicitly mentioned in the municipal portals.
A youth day hunting licence (14 Tage) for 16 to 17-year-olds is possible, likewise only when accompanied and not for driven hunts.

For hunters not resident in Germany, the foreign national day hunting licence (14 consecutive days) is particularly relevant.
For the day hunting licence or falconer day hunting licence when resident abroad, a hunting invitation and the hunting licence from the competent authority at the main residence abroad must be submitted.
The requirements essentially correspond to those for the domestic day hunting licence (legal age, reliability, third-party liability insurance).
Without German citizenship, a foreign national hunting licence may be an option.
For foreign applicants applying for renewal, proof of entitlement to hunting rights (e.g. lease agreement, Jagderlaubnisschein) is required.
