A licencia de caza issued by the community, after examination

The licence certifies passing the hunter's examination and paying the fees; it is personal and non-transferable.

The Spanish hunting title is issued by the autonomous community, not the State: there is no single national licence. Castile and León offers a documented example. Article 13 of Act 4/2021 defines the licencia de caza as «el documento personal e intransferible que acredita que su titular» has passed the hunter's examination or is exempt from it, and has paid the fees to hunt in the community. It is issued by the Consejería after verifying that the applicant is not barred from hunting by a final judgment or sanction; licence types, validity and procedure are set by order. Article 14 states that the examination consists of aptitude tests covering at least hunting legislation, distinguishing huntable species, the correct use of weapons and other hunting means, and the safety and health measures to be taken. Exemptions exist, notably for those who held a licence in the five years before 15 March 2015, or passed an equivalent examination in another community or another State.
