The Laurel VEC, who we are affiliated with, uses a computer program to run the test session. This data allows us to import your information in the test session program and automatically print your FCC application form. This allows us to electronically send your application and results to the FCC the next business day and your results and/or new call sign are usually available that next business day. Please type carefully as this information is directly imported into the program and that is the information that is sent to the FCC.
