License Update/Renew Information
It's understood that the FCC request that you start thinking about renewing your Amateur Radio Operators License around 60 days from the expiration date of your currently held license. This is so that should there be any problems you will not have your license expire before you get the updated one in your possession. So below I am going to attempt to give you the
information that might make it easier for you to update or renew your license.
You can click on this link here for QRZ and go to their web site and find the
link for the Vanity Call information. From that link you can access the
Universal Licensing System and hopefully find the info to make the necessary
paperwork for the renewing process of your license. The ULS does have a
current telephone number for tech support 1-202-414-1250 , the FCC also
has a phone number which they call their helpline also 1-888-225-5322
