New applicants must have a FRN (FCC Registration Number) prior to taking the test. Visit https://www.fcc.gov/rofrn for a video on how to register for your FRN.
All applicants must provide a valid email address per the FCC.
The FCC is charging a $35 license fee. Payments will need to be made to the FCC and cannot be processed by the Volunteer Examiners. After your application is submitted and processed, the FCC will send you an email on how to pay the licensing fee.
If none of these dates work for you, some clubs offer remote testing. The Anchorage Amateur Radio Club is one. https://kl7aa.org/vec/remote-testing/
The AARC gets a mention because they reached out to us to tell us of a local ham that tested with them. We respect that.
