IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Applying for a new Amateur Radio license? Recent changes by the Federal Communication Commission now require an applicant to obtain an FRN (FCC Registration Number) before sitting for your exam.
Register in CORES (COmission REgistration System) and receive your FRN (FCC Registration Number) before sitting for your exam to ensure your new license is processed quickly and easily through the FCC’s ULS (Universal Licensing System). To conduct business with the FCC, you must register through FCC CORES and be assigned an FRN. This number will be used to uniquely identify you in all transactions with the FCC.
View the FCC web page New Users guide to ULS for step by step instructions on the registration process or the Commission Registration System Video Tutorials page for videos that help guide CORES users through a variety of situations.
