Why You Need A GMRS License and How To Get One.
Top GMRS License Take-a-Ways
- Applicant must be 18+
- Not a representative of a foreign government
- Only available to individuals, aka no blanket business GMRS license (there are some that are grandfathered in, but that's a different story circa 1987)
- No test, just a $35 payment and it's good for 10 years
- License covers you and your immediate family (husband, wife, kids, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, you get the point!)
- If you have been convicted of a felony in the past, you will need to disclose more information as to the context of the charges (this does not mean you will automatically denied)
- And finally, follow the rules set forth by the FCC
How Do I Apply?
Online. Go to the FCC Website by following the information listed under "Filing Instructions" below.
Remember: you must register for a FRN as a Domestic Individual. This allows you to do business (ie. pay) the FCC. Once you receive your FRN, which typically happens moments after submitting the form, you are able to fill out the online application and purchase your GMRS license.
