N.D. Cent. Code § 20.1-03-17
All hunting, fur-bearer, fishing, and taxidermists' licenses must be issued by the director, deputy director, and bonded game wardens. The deputy director and each bonded game warden shall send the director all license fees.
Upon request, the director may appoint the person making the request an agent to distribute hunting and fishing licenses. The director may provide licenses to agents located outside this state if there are no agents located a reasonable distance within this state where nonresidents may obtain licenses. Upon request, the director may appoint the county auditor of any county as an agent to distribute hunting and fishing licenses. The director may require an agent to show evidence of adequate financial security before the agent is appointed. Adequate financial security may be evidenced by a letter of credit, cash deposit, or bond. Agents may be bonded through the state bonding fund. An agent may charge a purchaser up to three percent of the total license fee excluding the certificate fee. The agent shall return the remainder of the license fees to the director at least once each month. Notwithstanding section 26.1-21-11, if a claim against the state bonding fund is not filed within sixty days of the expiration of the reporting period provided in this section, the claim is waived. Deposits are to be accompanied by a report showing the amounts received from the sale of each type of license, the amount retained, and the net amounts deposited. The director shall deposit all license fees received with the state treasurer to be credited to the game and fish fund. Each agent appointed to distribute hunting and fishing licenses shall implement a computerized online licensing system approved by the department. The agent is responsible for any equipment, supplies, and technical support associated with selling licenses online.
