Overview of the FCC License Application Process

Applying for Your FCC Commercial Radio Operator License: A Simple Process

How do I apply for my FCC commercial radio operator license? 

Once you have successfully passed the required element exams for the FCC license you are pursuing, we will electronically file your license application with the FCC on your behalf.

To get started, please email the following documents to support@marinerslearningsystem.com:

1. Your MLS Certificate(s) of Completion for each required FCC Element

   • Important: If you fail to include your MLS certificates in your application packet, it will cause significant delays in processing your application

2. FCC 605 Main Form

   • For item #9, if you don’t already have an FCC Registration Number (FRN), register for one here
   • For item #28, if you checked "Yes", refer to our article on documenting a court conviction for next steps

3. FCC Form Schedule E

When completing these forms, fill out each section to the best of your ability. The FCC forms cover a range of licenses, so if a section doesn’t apply or seems unclear, feel free to leave it blank. We’ve highlighted the key sections you need to complete.

If we are missing any required information, we will reach out to you to resolve the issue promptly.
