As one of the many benefits we offer, ARRL Members will automatically receive an Amateur Radio License Renewal Notification from ARRL via email. This notice is sent once the license is just outside the 90-day window for renewal. Amateurs can renew no sooner than 90 days before the expiration of their license.

The email contains detailed instructions for navigating the FCC's License Manager and CORES websites and paying the FCC's application fee. 

Members should contact the ARRL VEC directly to renew their license if the renewal notification is not received via email, if the member does not have an email address on file with the ARRL, or if the member requires help. Please keep your membership contact information up to date so we can relay important license information and news.

Contact the ARRL VEC staff by phone at 860-594-0300 (Mon-Fri 8 am-5 pm EST) or by email at VEC@arrl.org.
