Licensing

Common Filing Task: Changing Address

No Fee Charged
Small Arrow Filing Electronically using the Universal Licensing System
Small Arrow Filing Manually
If your license has not expired, 47 C.F.R Section 97.21 requires you to file timely for an update of the license as necessary to show your correct mailing address, name, club name, license trustee or custodian name. Revocation of your station license or suspension of your operator license may result when correspondence from the FCC is returned as undeliverable because you failed to provide the correct mailing address. For an operator/primary station license, the application must be made on a FCC Form 605 (edition date of July 2005 or later). Use purpose AU, Administrative Update, for an address or name change only and file the Main form only. (For a club, military recreation, or RACES station license, you must now file through a Club Station Call Sign Administrator. See the Public Notice on CSCSAs ( text - pdf - Word).)
