Foreigner Youth Falconer Hunting Licence - Apply for a day hunting licence for the first time

If you are a young foreigner in Germany who wants to hunt with griffins or falcons and you have not passed a German falconry exam, you must carry a foreign youth falconer hunting license in your name.

If you are a foreign citizen and would like to practice pickling in Germany, you will need a German falconry licence and hunting licence in your name. If you are not yet 18 years old, you can only be granted a foreigner's youth falconer's hunting licence and foreigner's youth hunting licences. If you do not provide proof of a German falconer examination and hunter's examination, you can only apply for a day hunting licence for foreigners.
