Taking an FCC Exam

When you are ready to take an exam, contact the exam session team. This is important to make sure that the exam session date, location or fee has not changed.

Review the list of what to bring at http://www.arrl.org/what-to-bring-to-an-exam-session and make sure you bring all that’s listed.

Please obtain an FRN (FCC Registration Number) before the exam.
Go to: https://apps.fcc.gov/coresWeb/publicHome.do

The FRN is a public ID number not tied to any sensitive data (we will accept your SSN if you do not have a FRN, but in this era of identity theft, we really don’t want your SSN).

As of this writing, the ARRL test fee is $15. Consider bringing two test fees. If you don’t pass on the first try you can, if you wish, you can pay a second fee and try again. If you pass a technician or general exam, you can take the next higher exam at no additional fee.

Most hamfests have exam sessions, too (search by state):
