About Fee Filer

Fee Filer enables you to submit a variety of FCC fees for payment. Certain fees are automatically found based upon the FRN (FCC registration number) you use to log in, such as pre-billed annual regulatory fees, delinquent fees, ULS fees, and other outstanding bills. Fee Filer is operational 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Use Fee Filer if you want to pay:

Regulatory Fees

  • Pay quickly and accurately online by credit card or debit from a bank account.
  • Electronically submit a large volume of fees, with no paper filing for online payments; if you do not wish to pay online, then fee filer will generate a simple one page form (fcc form 159-e, remittance voucher) to accompany your payment.
  • Save your fee information and then easily access your information later when you return.
  • Monitor the status of your payment.

Bills

  • Pay quickly and accurately online by credit card for any outstanding bills payable to the fcc (except pre-billed annual regulatory fees, which must be paid using the regulatory fees option).
  • View bill numbers and amounts due for any outstanding bills payable to the FCC. For further bill details and for printing a Form 159-B for delinquent bills, use the Red Light Display (RLD) system instead (http://www.fcc.gov/redlight).

ULS Fees

  • Pay for wireless applications for which you have previously filed but have not yet paid.
  • Pay online by credit card or print a pre-populated form 159 and pay by regular mail.

Other Application Fees

Pay fees online for electronically filed applications (via IBFS, CDBS, COALS, ETFS, or OET) as an alternative to submitting a paper Form 159 and paying by regular mail.

Online credit card payers: The U.S. Treasury now rejects the processing of credit card transactions greater than $49,999.99. This limit includes multiple transactions on the same credit card totaling more than this limit in a single day. If you need to pay $50,000.00 or more, you should use a check, debit, or wire transfer.
