To find out if your new license is ready, you can look at the FCC ULS (Universal Licensing System) database. To request a printed license document, contact the FCC’s support office. To obtain a printed license document, contact the FCC at their Gettysburg, PA office. A printed license can still be obtained from the FCC, but you must request it separately. Note: The FCC has discontinued automatic issuance of printed license documents. You do not have to wait for a physical license document to arrive at your mailing address. As soon as your name and new call sign appear in the database (if during the week, this could be in as little as 1 hour or less), you may begin to use your new license and call sign. The FCC License View is also not an endorsement by the FCC of any particular service, technology, product, or service provider, and the FCC makes no representations or warranties about the provision of service on the data included in this database.If you have just passed the tests for a brand new Amateur Radio License, congratulations! Your information from the testing session will be entered into the FCC licensing database as soon as possible…most times just minutes after you complete your exam. Furthermore, users should be aware that matters not reflected in the FCC License View may relate to and affect the status of FCC licenses, including spectrum leasing arrangements, transactions pending before the FCC, transactions approved by the FCC but not consummated by applicants, future proceedings before the FCC, or actions in the courts.

The information contained herein has not been relied upon by the Commission to analyze the competitive marketplace or assessing the spectrum holdings of service providers in any particular geographic area. Users seeking a record of a particular license are urged to utilize the Commission's official databases, such as the Cable Operations and Licensing System (COALS), Consolidated Data Base System (CDBS), Experimental Licensing System (ELS), International Bureau Filing System (IBFS) and Universal Licensing System (ULS), instead.

Users are cautioned that this system does not necessarily constitute the complete record in any particular license and, as such, the FCC makes no representations regarding the accuracy or completeness of the information maintained in the FCC License View. The FCC License View contains licenses that have been granted by the Federal Communications Commission, and is intended solely to demonstrate some of the changes envisioned for the Commission's new Consolidated Licensing System. The following APIs represent a step toward reform of our licensing systems and improvement in how the FCC makes licensing information available to the public.


License View API provides snapshots such as the number of licenses across different services, how many licenses different entities have, and how many licenses are up for renewal in the near future. The FCC issues licenses for use of the nation's airwaves and other purposes.
