Maryland Department of Natural Resources Licensing Centers Closed

Maryland Department of Natural Resources Licensing Centers Closed

In order to protect public health and safety and to limit the spread of the COVID-19 virus, all Maryland Department of Natural Resources Licensing and Registration Centers are now closed under the current State of Emergency.

Governor Larry Hogan has issued an executive order related to licenses, permits, registrations, and other authorizations that may be expiring or up for renewal during the state of emergency. The executive order immediately grants a grace period of 30 days after the date of termination of the state of emergency. This includes items normally processed at our Maryland Department of Natural Resources Licensing Service Centers.
