1. If possible, Register online for your FCC FRN Number.  https://apps.fcc.gov/coresWeb/publicHome.do

Remember To Bring:

1. A valid photo ID (like your driver’s license) or two other forms of ID. If you do not have a photo ID, then bring copies of your other ID documents as we must include them with your test materials.
2. Two sharpened pencils (because if you only have one it will break) and one pen.
3. A calculator (optional).  Keep it simple because if it’s more than just a calculator (like a PDA or cell phone) or can be programmed it will NOT be permitted.
4. If you are upgrading, you need to bring the original and a copy of your current Amateur Radio license.
5. If you have any valid (not more than 365 days old) CSCEs for tests you’ve already passed, but do not yet have credit for bring the original CSCE and a copy.
6. Examination fee for LAUREL VE Exams: FREE!
   Examination fee for ARRL VE Exams: $15.00
7. If you are doing a “grandfather” upgrade then please see Frequently Asked Questions About Amateur Radio Restructuring for more information.

Upgrades

There continues to be some confusion about which elements you have credit for when you upgrade. The elimination of the CW requirement for General and Amateur Extra licenses has eliminated much of it but these two special cases still exist.

• If you have a Novice license you have no credit for current exam elements. To upgrade to Technician you need to take the Technician test. To upgrade to General you need to take BOTH the Technician and General tests.
• If you have an Advanced license then you have credit for elements 2 and 3 you still need to take the tougher current Extra exam to upgrade.

Again, good luck with testing for your new license or upgrade!
