VE TESTS

The cost of testing is $15. A picture ID, or two IDs without pictures, is required. If you are trying for an upgrade, please bring your original license and a copy that we can send in with the paperwork. If you just recently passed the Technician exam or upgraded and have yet to receive your license or have not seen the license posted on the FCC Website, please bring a copy of your CSCE that we can send in with the paperwork. Bring your FCC Registration Number (FRN) with you. If you don’t have one, please register with the FCC and get one. It only takes a few minutes. The FRN is required on all recent FCC licenses and applications, not just on our Amateur licenses.

As the default, the FCC no longer mails a paper license, but it does send out an email so you can print a paper license. So, that makes it very important to provide a legible email address on the Form ULS License Manager, but an email address is somewhat easier. You can also reset the FCC’s ULS default so that the FCC will provide official authorizations on paper. Go to: https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsEntry/licManager/login.jsp to get started with the ULS License Manager.

There is a $35 fee, paid to the FCC, for new licenses, vanities, and renewals. There is no fee for upgrades. For new licenses, this is paid after successfully testing and before the license is issued. The FCC will send the invoice via email.
