![]() ![]() Obtaining an
FCC Registration Number (FRN) DO NOT attempt to use both options! If you choose to use option 1 above, don't go home after the test and apply for an FRN on line. This will result in multiple FRNs being issued and will cause a multitude of issues, including a likely delay in receiving your new call sign.
Note that all future correspondence with the FCC must include your FRN. In fact, it's used as your User ID when you log into the FCC web site to apply for or modify your license. Further, you should have only one FRN. Once you receive one, never go back and apply for another. Use the same FRN for all FCC business. This includes events such as applying for an amateur radio license upgrade and/or applying for a license in another service, such as GMRS.
Detailed instructions for obtaining an FRN are on the FCC web site at:
To Register for an FRN, Log In to your FCC account, Search for licenses and other activities, go to:
