Why do I have to obtain an FRN before the exam?

Question

It's policy of the PVVET to only accept FCC Registration Number (FRN). We prefer to not handle Social Security Numbers (SSN) due to possible privacy concerns.

Accepting FRNs only also speeds up the registration process. This allows the applicant to pre-register on our website. Focus can now be dedicated to the exam instead of having to deal with paperwork.

It only takes minutes to obtain a FRN from the FCC. If you have a FCC amateur radio or GMRS license, you already have a FRN. Please see the FAQ for more information
