A non-resident, regardless how old, is required to obtain a license. If over 65 and you have proof of residency in Florida (DRIVERS LICENSE) a fishing license is not required.

Even if you don't require a fishing license and want to help the fish & game division I suggest you purchase a license. Revenue obtained from the sale of licenses is how the Fish & Game folks survive. The next time you see an FWC official thank them for their work.
