Alien falconry hunting license - renew your annual hunting license
If you are a foreign national and wish to hunt in Germany, you will need a German falconry hunting license and hunting permit in your name.
If you are already in possession of these hunting licenses as annual hunting licenses but their validity has expired, you can apply for an extension.
Falconry hunting licences may only be issued to foreigners who do not yet have a German falconry licence after passing the German falconry examination or passing a falconer's examination equivalent to the German falconer's examination in their home country. Whether a foreign falconer's examination is recognised as equivalent is decided by the supreme hunting authority.
