You must have an FRN in advance of the test session if you are applying for a new license. It is free and only takes a few minutes on the FCC’s website. For instructions, click here.

Day of the test, examinees must bring:

•A copy of your license if you are upgrading (copies will be collected and submitted to FCC)

•A government-issued photo ID; for minors a school, birth certificate, other ID, or library card may be acceptable (contact us in advance for details)

•A check or money order made out to ‘ARRL-VEC’ for $15 (no cash is preferred but we can accept it)

• For candidates under age 18 the fee is reduced, only $5

• A simple calculator if you feel you need one — no smart devices (i.e. watch or phone) will be permitted

• We will be using touchscreen tablets for testing. Bring a pen and pencil in case there are technical problems and we have to revert to paper exams.

Also, if you are sitting for a new Technician license, the FCC will want a $35 license fee to be paid separately and subsequently to the FCC to get the license issued. This fee does not apply to upgrades.
