Effective December 1, 2001, the FCC will not process license application forms that do not include an FCC Registration Number, or FRN. If you already hold a license, you may be able to get your FRN from one of the web-based callbooks: try the ARRL's or QRZ. You can also call the FCC directly about this at 1-800-480-3201. If you do not have an FRN, you will have to use your Social Security Number on the license application form.

The fee for W5YI-VEC VE sessions is $14.00. You can take as many different test elements as you want for $14.00. But if you do not pass an element and wish to take it again at the same session, an additional $14.00 will be required. For example: if you pass the General class exam, you can try the Extra class exam at no additional charge! Go ahead, give it a shot! Even if you don't pass, you will at least get an idea of what to expect. But if you don't pass the General exam and want to take it again, you will have to pay another $14.00 test fee!
