If you are applying for a new license, you must create an FCC user account and register your Social Security Number (SSN) in the FCC Commission Registration System (CORES) before attending an exam session. Registering with the FCC will create an FCC Registration Number (FRN), which will be used in all license transactions with the FCC. If you already have an FRN, then there is no need to register again. Register and receive an FRN and password at https://apps.fcc.gov/cores/userLogin.do.
Registration at the HamXposition is not required - just show up prepared for the exam, along with the items listed below!
