NOTICE: FCC REGISTRATION NUMBER (FRN) REQUIRED TO REGISTER FOR AN EXAM
If you currently do not hold an Amateur Radio License, you will first need to register for a Commission Registration System (CORES) username (your e-mail address) in the FCC CORES system and then request an FCC Registration Number (FRN) before submitting this registration. You can register for a user name, obtain an FRN, associate an FRN with an FCC username, or view CORES tutorial videos here:
https://apps.fcc.gov/cores If you have an FCC license (Amateur, GMRS, or other), you have an FRN and it is printed on the license. Notice: Licensed amateurs, after creating their new user name, must associate their FRN with their FCC username in order to pay any FCC application fees once those are implemented. View a CORES tutorial for how to link an existing FRN to a username here:

INCLEMENT WEATHER OR OTHER EMERGENCIES
In the event of severe weather or other emergencies that could force the cancellation of an exam session, such information will be sent to the email entered into the exam registration form. Registrants who reside in areas that fall under a Level 3 snow emergency classification or who will be traveling through areas that fall under a Level 3 snow emergency, should not attempt to drive to the exam session even if the exam session is not canceled. If Delaware County is under a Level 3 snow emergency on the day of the exam, the exam session is canceled and will be rescheduled. If Delaware County is under a Level 1 or Level 2 snow emergency, the VE Team Leader, Gary Mackey (KE8O), will decide by 8:00 am on the morning of the exam if the exam session is to be canceled. If the exam session is canceled, all registrants will be notified by email. To view the state’s weather-related road closures and restrictions, visit the Ohio Department of Transportation’s traffic website at
