FCC Fee Changes

FCC Changes in Testing procedures starting in 2021

All applicants wishing to take their initial exam for the technician Level License must now have their FRN (Federal Registration Number) prior to taking their exam.

An FCC instructional video provides step-by-step instructions on how to obtain an FRN through the FCC's COmmission REgistration System (CORES).

The video is available at, https://www.fcc.gov/rofrn .

The following websites will assist all new applicants in obtaining their FRN's via the FCC CORES system. Strongly recommend that all applicants visit each of these sites prior to taking an exam. This way there should be no surprises on the day of your exam.
