Board of Outfitters

Temporary Watercraft Identification
Outfitters and Guides needing temporary watercraft identification decals for immediate days may print and display temporary watercraft identification decals.

Effective October 23, 2021 Board Rules allow for online first aid certification. Logs are not required to be submitted annually to the board.

  • New applicants for a guide or outfitter license must have a current first aid certification from the Board’s approved provider list. Current guide and outfitter licensees can take a course for recertification from the approved provider list:

    FIRST AID PROVIDERS, EXEMPTIONS, INDIVIDUAL COURSES

  • During the 2025 Legislative Session, the Montana Legislature passed HB 276, impacting how the Department of Labor & Industry serves legal notices.

    What’s Changing: All licensees and applicants are required to provide the department with their current mailing address and any change of address within 30 days. Individuals may consent to electronic service of legal notices by providing a current email address and updating within 30 days of any change.

    All applications and renewals with the department will include the following:

    1. Three additional attestations covering the individual’s responsibility to provide a current mailing address and participate in the complaint and contested case processes.
    2. One question asking the individual if they wish to consent to receive service of Notice of disciplinary matters by email. Once the individual has consented to electronic service, they will not be asked to consent again in future transactions with the department.

    If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at (406) 444-6880 or dlibsdhelp@mt.gov.
