Answer
Regulations and administration
Type
A
retained in a safety deposit box
B
retained at the address provided to Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada
C
retained in the holder's vehicle
D
retained on the holder's person
Answer Notes
Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) requires that your Amateur Radio Operator Certificate be retained at your mailing address of record. This ensures that the primary station address matches the regulatory documentation and that the certificate is accessible if an inspector requests it.
While you might think of it like a driver's license, there is no requirement to carry it on your person or keep it in your vehicle, even if you are operating mobile. Keeping it locked away in a safety deposit box is also incorrect, as it must be available at the primary operating address.
