Effective June 29, 2022, all filers must provide an email address on all applications. When an email is provided, applicants will receive an official electronic copy of their licenses once granted (allow incoming email from authorizations@fcc.gov). If no email is provided when filing on or after June 29, 2022, applications will be rejected. ARRL VEC suggests that those without access to email to use the email address of a family member or friend.
Licensees need to log in to the Universal Licensing System (ULS) to download their authorizations. The FCC no longer issues paper copies.
