As of September 1, an exam is required in Russia to obtain a hunting license.

      From September 1, 2025, citizens applying for a hunting license are required to take an exam. The decision was published on the official legal information portal.

      The exam includes between 100 and 200 questions on animal biology, safety rules, permitted hunting methods and restrictions. Less than one minute is allotted for each question, and to pass successfully one must score at least 75% correct answers. Testing can be taken electronically or on paper, without hints or reference materials.

      An application for the exam can be submitted in person, by mail, through a multifunctional center or via the "Gosuslugi" portal. Applicants must attach proof of skills to the documents — certificates from self-regulatory hunting user organizations, a diploma in hunting studies, or recommendations from experienced hunters.

      The regional authority reports the exam results within 5 working days. If unsuccessful, the test can be retaken no sooner than one month later, and, if desired, the results can be appealed in the prescribed manner.

      The press service of the Ministry of Natural Resources of Russia reminded that about 4.7 million hunters are registered in the country. Each of them is required to have a hunting license and permits for the storage and carrying of weapons, as well as permission to harvest resources in publicly accessible hunting grounds or a permit to hunt in designated hunting territories. Violating these rules may result in administrative or criminal liability.
