Requirements for Testing
All testing sessions require an FCC Registration Number (FRN) prior to testing and a photo ID. This is an FCC regulation.
Go to the FCC Registration site to register for free here.
If you need help, video instructions are available here.
If you are already licensed, you will also need to bring a copy of your Amateur license. If you have not received your license but have passed prior testing sessions, you must bring your Completion of Examination (CSCE) you hold from your previous exam sessions.
