Testing Requirments
1. Two forms of identification, one must have a photo such as a drivers license, passport, place of employment security/ID card with picture etc. Non-photo ID's could be a social security card, birth certificate, baptismal certificate, school ID card, library card etc.
2. If you are upgrading a license, then you must bring the original and a photocopy of your current license, (FCC form 660) and of any active CSCE's for passed exam elements for which you have not received a paper license from the FCC. An example would be if you had a Technician Class License and then took and passed the General Class test. No paper license will be issued, so the CSCE is needed to verify that you passed the code.
3. Calculators are allowed but one must be prepared to prove no pre-programmed formulas have been saved within the calculator. You may be requested to clear all calculator memories in the presence of a VE.
Current ARRL-VEC EXAM FEE $15.00
If there are any Non-ARRL Exams, they will be posted on the CARA Calendar.
