FCC VE TESTING

The FCC requires all applicants for amateur radio licenses to obtain an FCC Registration Number(FRN) at least 48 hours before showing up for their exam.

Be sure to bring a printed copy of your FRN (Official copy of your current license, if upgrading to General/Extra) with you to the testing session, as it must be mailed in with your application to the FCC.

   • Non-photo ID/drivers’s license
   • Birth Certificate
   • Social Security card
   • Utility bill or bank statement showing the person’s current address as it appears on Form 605.
2. Bring a photocopy of your FRN or current official amateur radio license.
3. A calculator (with memory erased and formulas cleared) is allowed.
4. Pencils and scratch paper will be provided.
5. Cell phones should be turned off.
6. The current exam session fee is $14.00 cash or check.
