What must the administering VEs do after the administration of a successful examination for an amateur operator license?

Once an applicant successfully passes an amateur radio exam, the Volunteer Examiner (VE) team does not interact directly with the FCC. Instead, the administering VEs are required to submit all successful application documents to the Volunteer Examiner Coordinator (VEC) that coordinated the session. The VEC acts as the administrative intermediary between the local VE team and the FCC. The documents must be packaged and submitted strictly according to the specific instructions provided by that coordinating VEC. Options suggesting that VEs send paperwork directly to the FCC, or that they return the documents to the applicant for submission, are incorrect because the VEC must validate the session data before filing it electronically with the FCC on the applicant's behalf.
