How To Apply For A GMRS License:
Point your web-browser to the FCC website at: https://apps.fcc.gov/cores/userLogin.do and click on the REGISTER button.
This will take you to the new FRN form to enter your information. If you already have an FRN just login.
After filling in and submitting the form the FCC will send you an email with a link to click on to confirm your email address – if you don’t see that email be sure to check your junk/spam folders. After confirming your email address you can then log-in to the FCC website with your “FRN” account here: https://apps.fcc.gov/cores/userLogin.do
After creating and logging-in to the FCC website with your new FRN, you can now purchase your GMRS license.
To request and purchase your GMRS license go to the License Manager page and sign-in with your FRN/FCC Registration number and password, then click Apply For a New License in the left-side menu section.
On the next page, in the drop-down list, select “ZA General Mobile Radio (GMRS)”
On the next page, “Applicant Questions”, most people will select “NO” for “Does this filing request STA (Special Temporary Authorization) ?
For “Fee Status”, answer “no” to “Is the applicant exempt from FCC application fees?” and “Is the applicant exempt from FCC regulatory fees?” (unless you know that you are exempt – if you don’t know, then you are not exempt)
On the next page, fill out your name and other information that you want associated with your GMRS license – remember that everything entered here is public information. Click the CONTINUE button when complete.
The next page asks if you have been convicted of a felony. Being a convict does not necessarily prevent you from receiving a GMRS license, but the form asks you to explain the circumstances of your conviction. When complete, click CONTINUE in the lower-right.
On the next page “certify” that everything is accurate and click SUBMIT. You will then be taken to the payment page. You may be asked to log-in again with your FCC ID/FRN and password.
Select your payment method and follow the on-screen prompts. Once completed and after your payment goes through the FCC will send you an email when your license has been granted – This usually takes between 2 and 5 days.
To check the status of your license or to view/update your licensee information, just log in to the FCC website here: https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsEntry/licManager/login.jspand click on the “My Licenses” or “My Applications” link on the left-side menu.
