WCARS-VEC File Submission to FCC

New License Grants, Modifications, and Renewals are submitted to the FCC by online batch filing procedure. When the examination session is complete, the VE Team Leader will ensure that all required documents are complete, and any additions or corrections to them are done.

The documents are then submitted expeditiously to the designated VEC volunteer who creates the records for proper submission to the FCC. The FCC accepts and processes each record hourly on regular work days (Monday-Friday). No files are processed on weekends or Federal Holidays.

New license grants occur after the FCC receives and acknowledges payment of the license fee. Upgrades or modifications usually process within the hour of submission if on a work day.

*Should an applicant pass the Technician/General Class Exam, the applicant may be offered the opportunity to take the next level exam at no expense. Thus the applicant may be able to advance from no license to Extra Class with one fee submission.
