FCC No Longer Accepts SSN On License Application.
The FCC announced Amateur Radio License applications now require a Federal Registration Number. A Social Security number will not be accepted. If you are licensed then you already have a FRN. It's on your license.
Do you need to have a license to apply for a FRN? No, Any US citizen can apply for a FRN. It's required to do business with the FCC.
An FRN is easy to get from the FCC.gov website:
https://apps.fcc.gov/coresWeb/publicHome.do
Follow the directions on the webpage. Fill out the application online, submit, and an FRN will be assigned to you.
If you are planning on getting your Amateur Radio License soon then apply for your FRN as soon as possible. You will need it when you take your exam.
