General Info & Requirements:

Just remember to bring your…

• Original license (if you have one) and a copy.
• Two (2) pieces of positive ID (one being a photo ID, such as your Driver’s License, the other can be a birth certificate, Social Security card, and students may bring a school ID card, etc.).
• Bring the $15 test fee (or $30, just in case you fail the first version of the test and wish to take the second one).
• A calculator is optional (please note: the memory will need to be cleared if it is a programmable type!).
• #2 pencils along with a black or blue pen, which are necessary for filling out the test and application.
• You’ll also need your Federal Registration Number (FRN). If you do not have a FRN, you can apply here. Sorry, we are no longer able to accept Social Security Numbers.
• A valid email address. This is necessary for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to contact you for any required payments.
• You may not bring any written notes or calculations into the exam session. Scratch paper will be provided.

Why? It’s Fun!
