Title: Updating License Info - Where?
Post by: Todd, KA1KAQ on October 31, 2017, 04:41:32 PM
Once again old age seems to be nipping at my heels. I need to update my license information to reflect the new address, but for the life of me, cannot remember where the heck to go to do it. Somewhere I had a link someone posted eons ago that I used for the NC move. But that was 2008, almost a decade ago.

I believe I need to access the FCC database info somehow and send the information to them. Has anyone done this in the recent past?

To change an address associated with a license, go to the Universal Licensing System, select Online Filing, and do the following:
Login with your FRN and Password. ...
Choose Update from the Work on This License menu on the right hand side of your License At A Glance screen.

Here is the URL to log in:

Attached is the image of the screen you should see when you log in to make the address update.

If you do not already know your FRN, it is easy to get by doing a call lookup in QRZ, then, under "Detail", click on "View FCC Record".

Many thanks, Rick - that was the page alright. Even remembered my password, and I think I've only ever used it once. Maybe there's hope for the ol' brainbox yet.

Todd, if you also want a PDF copy of your license you can get that by logging into the FCC ULS License Manager System http://wireless.fcc.gov/uls/ again with your FRN and password to ‘Download the Electronic Authorization’ of the official license.  On the ‘Download Authorizations’ page ADD your call sign to the ‘Authorizations to Download’ and then click download. In other words, your callsign will show up in the left box, highlight it then click the ADD button to move it to the right box. Then click download.  The PDF of your license can be saved, printed later or the file can be opened and printed immediately.
