Common Amateur Filing Task: Changing Address

Licensing

Filing Electronically using the Universal Licensing System

If your license has not expired, 47 C.F.R Section 97.21 requires you to file timely for an update of the license as necessary to show your correct mailing address, name, email address, club name, license trustee or custodian name. Revocation of your station license or suspension of your operator license may result when correspondence from the FCC is returned as undeliverable because you failed to provide the correct mailing address. For an operator/primary station license, the application must be filed electronically in ULS.

For a club or military recreation station license, you must file through a Club Station Call Sign Administrator. See the Public Notice on CSCSAs ( text - pdf - Word).

1. Login with your FRN and Password.
