Agent Portal Quick Guide

About

The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources (KDFWR) has created a new web-based application called Agent Portal that provides a secure way for agent locations to access KDFWR license sales, financial reporting, and other administrative functions.

Requirements/Recommendations

Device and Browser

Agent Portal should work in all modern browsers and devices (if not, please let us know). Our primary tested environment is Windows PC with Chrome, Firefox, or Internet Explorer.

URL and Domains

It is required to allow access to https://app.fw.ky.gov, but we recommend also providing access to http://fw.ky.gov to allow viewing license requirements.

Printer

Receipts, licenses, and permits should be printed on standard 8.5 x 11 inch paper. We recommend using a laser printer. Color is not required.

Accounts

Administrative Account

Each agent location will have an administrative login account. That account will have the ability to:

  • Access all financial information
  • Authorize/De-authorize specific computers to sell licenses and permits
  • Create clerk accounts
  • Reset clerk account passwords
  • Sell licenses and permits
  • Void licenses and permits (within 4 hours)

Clerk Accounts

Optional, but recommended for larger agents with multiple staff members. Clerk accounts can only sell licenses on computers authorized by the administrative account. Clerk accounts have the ability to:

  • Sell licenses and permits
  • Void licenses and permits (within 4 hours)
