Answer Notes

After you pass your exam, the Volunteer Examiners submit your results to the FCC. The FCC has modernized its licensing system and now operates completely paperless. They will send an email to the address you provided on your application containing a direct link to download your official license grant. The FCC no longer automatically sends physical paper licenses via USPS First-Class mail. Additionally, while your Volunteer Examiner might congratulate you, the official notification and grant link only come directly from the FCC.
