Please come prepared!

2. Pre-Register by email.

3. Assemble your documents to bring with you on the day of the exam. Include:

   • Your license and a photocopy of it.
     If applicable, bring the original and a photocopy of your current Amateur Radio license and any Certificates of Successful Completion of Examination (CSCE) you may hold from previous exam sessions. The photocopy(s) will not be returned.

   • Photo ID—Driver's License, Passport or Student ID
     When no photo ID is available, two forms of identification must be presented:

     • non-photo ID/driver's license (some states still have them)

     • utility bill, bank statement or other business correspondence that specifically names the person; or a postmarked envelope addressed to the person at his or her current mailing address.
