Please read the following carefully:

A picture ID and a FCC Registration Number is required. FRN's are free and can be obtained from the FCC website at https://apps.fcc.gov/coresWeb/publicHome.do. An email address is required as well. Applications will not be accepted by the FCC without one.

Cost of the exam is $15,

You will need to provide your own pencils and/or pens and calculator. Cell phone calculator apps are not permitted, and cell phones must be off.

IF YOU ARE UPGRADING YOUR LICENSE, YOU MUST PROVIDE A COPY OF YOUR CURRENT LICENSE. Upgrade exams will not be given without a copy of your current license.

Updated Technician exams went into effect July 1.

The FCC is charging $35.00 for new license applications. Upgrades will not be charged the $35. We do not collect that fee. Upon completion of a successful exam the FCC will send you an email with payment instructions and a link. You will have ten calendar days to make the payment. Be sure your email address is legible on your application form. Cell phone and tablet payments have been problematic. It's best to use a computer to make your payment.
