Online Licensing System (LEEDS)

The Maine Department of Marine Resources' online licensing and landings system, called LEEDS (Licensing Enforcement and Environmental Data System) is now available.  In order to apply for a new license or renew a license with the system, you first need to create a login for LEEDS. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Please note that cell phones, tablets, or iPads cannot be used to create a login or obtain/update a license at this time.

ALREADY HAVE A LOGIN?
After you have created a login, go to LEEDS here (www.maine.gov/dmrleeds)

NEW USER?
If you have never logged into LEEDS before, create your LEEDS login here.

If you are renewing your license online, this system will provide you with many more options than our previous online system, including:

  • Renew a license
  • Apply for a new license you’ve never held before
  • Order tags (for certain licenses)
  • Reprint your license
  • Upgrade a license (if applicable)
  • Pay administrative fees
  • Report landings (coming soon)
  • Upload documents to the department
  • Change your password to the system

If you have had licenses with the Department, you already have a Landings Number.  Please be sure that once you create your login, that your landings number has not changed.  If your landings number is different once you create your login, please contact the Licensing Division before moving forward in the system.   Also, if your SS # is not correct in our system, or the FEIN # has changed, you will not be able to renew your licenses under the “NEW” landings number, and will need to contact Licensing to correct/update in order to  proceed.
