Persons born in Louisiana who are not residents may purchase a Non-Resident Native License that is valid for 10 consecutive days. 

• You must bring a copy of your Louisiana birth certificate and driver’s license to any vendor location each time you purchase a Native license.

If you would like to purchase the Native licenses online or never have to bring your birth certificate to a vendor location again, you can mail a copy of your birth certificate and driver’s license to LDWF and be “certified” as a Native.

You can mail those copies to:

LDWF
