ARC Class Exam

What you need to bring to the exam session:

1. One legal photo ID (identification)
   • State Driver’s License
   • Government issued Passport
   • Military or Law Enforcement Officer Photo ID card
   • Student School Photo ID card
   • State Photo ID card

If no photo ID is available, two forms of identification:

• Non-photo State ID card (some states still have them)

• Birth certificate (must have the appropriate seal)

• Social security card

• Employer's wage statement or Minor's work permit

• School ID card

• School or Public Library card

• Utility bill, bank statement or other business correspondence that specifically names the person;

• Postmarked envelope addressed to the person at his or her current mailing address as it appears on the Form 605.

  Students/minors without a photo ID need to bring only one of the above items if a legal guardian presents their photo ID; otherwise two non-photo IDs are required

2. Any current CSCEs that have not yet shown up in the FCC database.
3. Test fee, CASH ONLY, exact amount (if possible): $15
4. A FCC Registration Number (FRN)
5. Calculators: Non-programmable calculators are allowed. Programmable calculators are NOT ALLOWED unless their memories can be cleared or reset at the exam session site by the testing crew prior to the start of the exam. The decision as to whether a calculator will be allowed to be used rests with the Chief Volunteer Examiner/Session Manager and that decision is final. Cell phone/tablet Calculator Apps will not be used.
