The East Pasco Amateur Radio Society holds VE sessions the second Wednesday of every month, starting at 3:00 PM at the American Legion Post#15 in Downtown Dade City. 37745 Church Ave, Dade City, Florida 33525.
Applicants for their first license must bring photo identification. First time applicants MUST have an FCC Registration Number (FRN). FRNs can be obtained at the FCC website for no cost. There is an FCC tutorial video to explain the process of obtaining an FRN. Applicants for upgrades must bring photo ID, both the original and a copy of their current license, and the original CSCE if they have upgraded from the class shown on their license.
The FCC has announced that they will start collecting a $35 license fee effective April 19, 2022.
If their FCC Registration Number is not shown on their license, they must get that FRN from the FCC Data Base, the ARRL Call Sign Data Base, or the QRZ.com call sign data base. The fee for processing of examinations is $15.00 – cash or check in-hand at time of exam. FRN is required to take exam.

In 2014 the FCC decided that all previously licensed persons could receive credit for expired licenses, regardless of how long ago the license expired. Expired License Credit gives the details on how this works. In February 2015 the FCC stopped sending out paper licenses to new licensees and to those who upgrade their current license.
To get a copy of the new license go to the FCC’s ULS page.
