As of April 19, 2022, the FCC has implemented application fees for licensing services. Once your exam results are uploaded to the FCC database you will receive a link directly from the FCC for the $35 fee. This fee is not included in your initial order and will need to be paid to the FCC in order for you to receive your license.
Before you sign up for an FCC Element Exam, you must create an FCC user profile and FRN (registration number).

Bring two forms of personal identification—one of which must be a government-issued identification card with your photo (e.g., driver’s license or passport). Arrive for your exam promptly. If you have questions or need directions, contact iNARTE or the test center or proctor directly. You may bring a non-programmable calculator into the exam room. No programmable or printing calculators, books or other reference material, radios or cameras, are allowed in the exam room. You may use clean scratch paper for computer-based examinations. Each FCC exam session is four hours and up to two element exams may be taken during this four-hour period. All exams must be completed in four hours. If you need to take additional FCC exam elements, or the same element again, you will need to register for them separately.
You will be taking an exam that utilizes the Proctor Exam system. This system allows for you to take the exam at a convenient time of your choosing, and it will allow for the proctoring of your exam by recording the visual, audio, and desktop aspects of your exam and exam environment. We hope you find the Proctor Exam system convenient and easy to use. Important: Your first and last name must appear exactly as they do on your government-issued photo ID in order for you to gain certification. You MUST use Google Chrome. Please make sure you have Google Chrome installed. Room/space preparations:

If you pass your exams, iNARTE files your FCC exam results on your behalf. Within 7 days of filing, expect to receive an email from the FCC requesting a $35 application fee. This fee will need to be paid directly to the FCC. iNARTE is not able to collect or pay the fee on your behalf.
If you do not pass all the required exams please re-register with iNARTE. Note: you receive credit for each FCC exam element passed. For example: if you pass element 1, but not element 3, you need to retest only for element 3.
Need to take an exam again? There is no mandatory waiting period before you can re-test.
