    New License Applicants Must Get FRN Before Taking Exam

    As of May 20th, everyone taking an amateur radio license exam must provide examiners with their FCC Registration Number, or FRN, before taking the test. Current hams and other FCC licensees will already have one, but prospective amateurs must sign up for a number ahead of time. The process is simple: Go to the FCC’s website at <https://tinyurl.com/njmmjjbv>, follow the prompts and fill out the form.

    The ARRL notes that you will need this number after taking your test to log into the FCC website to print, all amateur applications will be required to include a valid email address.
