  • FCC Auto-Registration Feature for Exam Applicants to be Discontinued

    From ARRL de WD1CKS@VERT/WLARB to QST on Tue Apr 27 17:40:32 2021
    04/27/2021

    Auto-registration in the FCC Commission Registration System (CORES) amateur radio exam candidates using a Social Security number will be discontinued on May 20, 2021. Applicants must use an FCC Registration Number (FRN[1]) for all license transactions with the FCC. Examinees must register in CORES[2] and receive an FRN before exam day. Starting on May 20, electronic batch filed applications that do not include a candidate's FRN will be rejected. The Social Security/Licensee ID Field will be disabled.

    An instructional video[3] provides step-by-step instructions on how to establish a CORES account, which is necessary for licensees to make administrative updates and download electronic license authorizations.

    After June 29, all filers must provide an email address[4] on all applications. When an email is provided, applicants will receive an official electronic copy of their licenses once granted (allow incoming email from authorizations@fcc.gov[5]). If no email is provided when filing on or after June 29, applications will be rejected. ARRL VEC suggests that those without access to email to use the email address of a family member or friend.

    Licensees need to log in to the Universal Licensing System (ULS) to download their authorizations[6]. The FCC no longer issues paper copies. - Thanks to the FCC
