QRZ, in association with the W5YI-VEC, now offers FCC authorized online license
update and renewal services for USA Amateurs. These services include:
- Corrections or Change of Address: make spelling and/or mailing address
corrections to your existing license. You will receive an updated certificate.
- License Renewals: renew your license when it is within 90 days of
expiring, or make a reinstatement if it has expired within the last 2 years.
Changes of address and/or corrections can be made at the same time.
- Replacement Certificates: get a new copy of a lost or misplaced certificate.
Changes and/or corrections are also allowed.
- Non-US Residents: We now accept renewals of USA licenses that are held
by non-USA residents. These are also known as reciprocal operating permits.

club stations. For more info please call the W5YI-VEC number listed below.
How Long Does It Take?
Usually within 48 hours (longer on weekends). Our input forms go directly to the W5YI-VEC
where your info is reviewed by their staff and then keyed directly into the FCC's computer system.
Your updates become effective immediately upon their appearance on the official websites.
You will receive a new certificate in the mail from the FCC in two to six weeks.
While in the US it is not necessary to have a certificate in your posession so long as
the information is available online.

The W5YI-VEC/QRZ online update service costs just $8 and major credit
cards are accepted online. The fee includes all taxes and postage.
Your new or updated certificate will be mailed directly to you from
