Please note that most of this information will be automatically collected if you register using hamstudy.org.

Upon registering, we need your name, current address number, the last 4 digits of your ID (preferably your driver's license), and phone number. The FCC also requires us to ask if you are a convicted felon...we don't need any details, just yes or no... a yes answer does NOT automatically disqualify an amateur license.

For current UNLICENSED persons taking their test for the first time: If you haven't done so already, you will need to register for a FRN on the FCC website. Every single person testing MUST have their own FRN number, (even if there are 2 or 3 family members each will need their own FRN). Go to link: https://apps.fcc.gov/cores/userlogin.do and click Register and then select individual account. Follow the rest of the directions to make your account, Once Finished you will need to print your FRN account information out and bring that with you to the test session; an FRN is required before you can test. If you don't do this, it will severely delay things. Also, besides a printed copy of your FRN info, you will also need to bring 2 forms of ID (1 as a photo ID), and $12.00 Cash per person for the test Fee (change may not be available if not exact). Please keep in mind, if you fail the test and want to take it again it will cost an additional $12.00, however if you pass and want to attempt the next element it is free! Also Please send me all your personal contact info (name, address, city, zip, phone #, email, etc.) with you FRN number, if you haven’t done so already, so we can expedite your waiting time for paperwork completion. This is important to prepare for just in case of internet or printer issues...

For current LICENSED hams wanting to UPGRADE: First, login to your FCC FRN account here: https://apps.fcc.gov/cores/userlogin.do and once logged in the next screen in green highlight at the top of the screen it should say "Download your official electronic authorizations here". Click that and towards the bottom screen there should be a box with all your FCC licenses in it. Highlight your current ham license and click Add, it should print out your current ham license, sign it, and bring that to the test session. Your FCC FRN number should be on the printed license document but if it's not you will need to print out your FRN number too or at least bring the number with you as you'll need that number for your upgrade exam. Also, you will need to bring your photo ID and $12.00 per person for your test.
