FCC Radio Telephone Operator Permit

[sbav8r]

Can I order a replacement, or do I have to apply again and pay for a new one?

If you did it online and still have your username and pass you can just print a new one.

Not to date myself but, I got mine in 1967 and have never been asked to show it. Only employers..

I had to start from the beginning to get a replacement radio licence (didn't do it online last time and they couldn't find my old records..) Anyways, even though the FCC website is worse then the IRS, I called the 1800 # and they were very helpful. The lady sent me these step by step instructions. The price is now $60.00 but it only took 4 days to arrive at my door. Good luck-

Here are the instructions:

No such thing as 'on line' or pass word when I got mine. Still have it and it's very old. Never been ask for it. Guess it makes me legal, who knows.
