1. The FCC mandated that every application must include a valid email address. Per the February 2015 Public Notice DA 15-72, The FCC no longer mails paper license authorizations. Once the FCC grants the application, the applicant will receive an email with the subject "FCC Application Grant OR Official FCC License" from the FCC (authorizations@fcc.gov) within 24 hours of the grant date with a link to print the new license. If the applicant does not receive it in their inbox, they should check their spam box. Unfortunately, the FCC email can not be regenerated and resent, and the link to download the new license is only good for 30 days.
2. If the applicant does not already have an FRN, the FCC has also mandated that every applicant pre-register in CORES https://apps.fcc.gov/coresWeb/publicHome.do and obtain a FRN to supply instead of their SSN. The FRN must be on the 605 or it will be placed on hold.
3. Once the application is submitted to the FCC, the FCC will give it a File #, and then the applicant will receive an email from the FCC with full instructions to pay the $35 fee. If the applicant does not pay the required fee within 10 (calendar) days, the application will be dismissed and they will not receive a license. This will only apply to New (unlicensed) licensees, Renewals, and new Vanity callsign requests. Upgrades, Address change, and Name change applications will NOT be assessed the new fee.

4. The FCC mandated that every applicant must answer the Basic Qualification Question (BQQ). If the applicant answers "Yes" to the Felony Question, they will receive an email from W5YI-VEC with full instructions once the application has been submitted to the FCC and receives a File #.
