Good morning,
How do you renew your license and how do I know when mine
expires and my husbands?
Thank you,
Sheryll
Most amateur licenses are good for ten years...but time has a habit
of going quickly and all of the sudden you need to renew.
The FCC has a database that is used for all radio licensing,
including the Amateur Radio Service.
They call it the Universal Licensing System (ULS), which can be
found here: https://www.fcc.gov/wireless/universal-licensing-system
Just enter your call sign and your license should pop up.
Here's my license info, which shows the expiration date as
04/09/2032
Notice there is an FRN (FCC Registration Number) associated with my
license. This is kind of like a user ID for working with the ULS.
You should have one assigned to your license and you will need this
to modify or renew your license.
You will need your FRN and your password. Uh oh, you may not know
your password.
Also, be aware that the FCC may or may not have an email address for
you in their database.
They currently require one but older licenses may not have it.
At this point, I wish you good luck with resetting your password.
It may not be much fun, but follow the directions on the FCC
website.
It looks like they have recently changed their website and they are
treating your email address as the login.
