Walk-ins will be accepted although preregistration will help us plan better. We especially need to know if you will need special accommodations. Please read our VE team rules before you arrive.
Upgraders must bring the original and one photocopy of their FCC license and any applicable CSCEs.
If you are a US citizen you must know your SSN or have an FCC Registration Number as either the SSN or FRN is required by the FCC rules. You must also bring a valid photo id (such as a driver's license or non-driver ID). If you do not have a photo ID, bring two forms of ID, at least one of which shows your current mailing address.
The 2017 exam fee remains $15.00 (cash or check) for all elements. Please bring exact change or a check.
