All Amateur Radio license and upgrade applicants must use their Federal Registration Number (FRN), if they have been assigned one, when completing Form NCVEC 605. Using your FRN also means that you need not enter your SSN on Form NCVEC 605.

Special testing assistance or needs must be arranged in advance.
