NOTE:<\/strong><\/span> Beginning May 20, 2021, all amateur examination applicants will be required to provide an FCC Registration Number (FRN<\/a><\/strong>) to the Volunteer Examiners (VEs) before taking an amateur exam. This is necessary due to changes the FCC has made to its licensing system.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Amateur candidates who already have an FCC license, whether for amateur radio or in another service, already have an FRN and can use the same number. All prospective new FCC licensees, however, will be required to obtain an FRN before the examination and provide that number to the volunteer examiners on the Form 605 license application.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n An FRN, or FCC Registration Number, is a ten digit number that identifies your business dealings with the FCC. The FCC requires a permanent address, so they can reach you if need be. Follow these steps below to register:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5. Click submit at the bottom, and you\u2019re finished<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 6.<\/strong> Make sure to bring this number with you at time of testing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Immediately after submitting your form, you will receive your FRN on the registration confirmation web page. You will not<\/u> have to wait for mail, and if you need to make any immediate changes to your registration information you are able to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Visit https:\/\/apps.fcc.gov\/coresWeb\/simpleSearch.do<\/a><\/strong> and look up your FRN profile. This search can be done by FRN number, Business name, Last name, or EIN used to register.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Please have your FRN information available on test day and for future use with the FCC, do not lose your number. If you fail to bring the FRN information with you at testing time, you will not<\/u> be allowed to test.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n ______________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n DATE: <\/strong>1st Saturday each month – 8:30 am<\/p>\n\n\n\n LOCATION: <\/strong>Plymouth Village<\/p>\n\n\n\n 945 Salem Dr Redlands 92373 – Brewster Room Lower Level<\/p>\n\n\n\n Contact:<\/strong> Keith E.
