Registration for a KVHF Laurel VE Testing Session

Locations and Schedules Link

  • Generally speaking you need a government issued photo ID (Driver’s License, Military ID) at the session. PA also issues a non-driver’s license ID. That is valid. If you do not have one of these contact me and we will see what other ID can be substituted.

  • If you are upgrading you will need to bring your current license. We need to see this to verify your current status. If you have a current FCC license the FRN will be printed on it.

  • If you don’t have a current FCC license I would strongly suggest you to get a Federal Registration Number. If you have the FRN we do not have your SSN on any documents. We take proper care with handling but I prefer to not have the risk of handling SSN’s.


    • Steps to Getting an FCC Registration Number (FRN)

  • Go to the Commission’s Registration System (CORES) and Click Register. Answer whether the FRN is for an individual or business and whether the address for the contact is within the U.S. and click Continue.Complete the registration information and click Submit.Make sure you accurately copy your FRN and keep it. I suggest printing the response.

If you do not have a license you will not have a expiration date. If you do not have a license you will be testing for a Technician license even if you plan to take the Technician and other classes.
