GMRS License

SO, HOW DO I APPLY?

Online! Go to the FCC Website by following the information listed under “Filing Instructions” below.

Remember: you must register for a FRN as a Domestic Individual. This allows you to do business (ie. pay) the FCC. Once you receive your FRN, which typically happens moments after submitting the form, you are able to fill out the online application and purchase your GMRS license. Information directly from the FCC below.

Let’s get started!!
