Huh. The guy running the exam session when I took my tests suggested to me that I set up an FRN before taking the test. He said if I did that, it would make my life easier going forward. He handed me a laptop already on the necessary FCC page and coached me a little on what info to put. Having said that, it is simply filling out a form and is not difficult, and it provides you with your FRN immediately.

What's the over/under on FCC making phone number a required field too? Love having an optional field incur extra work in this era.

Not a huge deal, everybody already does it anyway, so their soc. isnt visible to the whole world. Common sense.

I agree, it's not a big deal. I set one up some time ago when I last had to renew my license. The reason I posted this is that this is the first I've heard of it and May 20 is only a week away. Somebody is going to get to an exam session without an FRN and isn't going to be allowed to take the test they have prepped for. That would be ugly!

All the Examiners were very clear on that back in February. It was well advised on their web page and even in radio announcement discussions on the air about the exam date.
granted it was new I believe and they might understandably slack off on the warning to get it even though it is still necessary. |

I used my SSN because I didn’t have an FRN.
 Have one now, of course, but looks like there’s no choice now. |

OK, good. I hadn't heard anything about it and was afraid they were just now announcing it. Thanks for the clarification. |

It is a VERY good thing to inform people of this requirement. You might consider editing your thread subject line to add FRN Required to take Exam, or something, so that someone just skimming down the list of thread titles would know how important it is. When I went to my exam session, I did not even know there was such a thing as an FRN, and it was only because the guy running things strongly suggested I get one and handed me a laptop so that I could. I think he mentioned about not having to give your SSN, which was certainly the way to go. |
