Form 605 PDF Details

Navigating the avenues of amateur radio licensing in the United States introduces individuals to various forms and procedures, among which the NCVEC Quick-Form 605 application plays a crucial role. This form is a gateway for enthusiasts aiming to either enter the realm of amateur radio or enhance their involvement through upgrading their license class. The form meticulously gathers personal information, including the applicant's name, mailing address, email (which is mandatory), and other identification details like the Federal Registration Number or Social Security Number. It also probes into the applicant's background with a basic qualification question regarding past felony convictions, a measure to ensure the integrity and safety of the amateur radio community. Upon completion, the form offers several paths: applying for a new license, upgrading an existing license, changing personal information on the current license, or renewing a license. It encapsulates a comprehensive process, from the initial application to the examination administered by Volunteer Examiners (VEs), all aimed at fostering responsible and qualified broadcasting within the amateur radio bands. Notably, the form specifies that it should not be sent to the FCC directly, highlighting its purpose for VE and VEC use during examination sessions. Those aiming for specific vanity call signs or other unique licensing needs are directed towards additional FCC forms, underlining the structured, yet accessible, pathway to becoming a fully licensed amateur radio operator in the United States.

FCC requires the lower level exams to be passed for the higher level licenses to be issued.

LEVEL 1: Technician Class

LEVEL 2: General Class (upgrade from Technician)

EXAM: 35 question General Written Exam (Element 3)

LEVEL 3: Amateur Extra Class (upgrade from General)

NCVEC FORM 605

The NCVEC Form 605 is for VE / VEC use only. Do not send or provide this form to the FCC. This form is used at a VE exam session to apply for a new or upgrade Amateur Radio Operator/Primary Station license. It may also be used to renew or update your license (change your mailing address, email

address, name, etc.). This form may not be used to apply for a new specific “Vanity” station call sign.

THE FCC APPLICATION FORM 605

The FCC Form 605 may not be submitted to a VE exam session team or a VEC since it does not request the information required by the administering VEs. The FCC Form 605 may be used to renew or modify your license. New vanity license requests and sequential call sign changes require an FCC schedule D form in addition to the FCC 605 Form. Send the FCC 605 form to: FCC, 1270 Fairfield Rd., Gettysburg PA 17325-7245. You may file license renewals or changes or request a vanity call sign online directly with the FCC at http://wireless.fcc.gov/uls/.

FCC BASIC QUALIFICATION QUESTION

This item enables the FCC to determine whether an Applicant is eligible under §§ 310(d) and 308(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, to hold or have ownership interest in a station license. Applicants are required to answer the question only if 1) they are filing NCVEC or FCC Form 605 for one of the following purposes indicated: New, Amendment,

Modification (Upgrade or Call sign change), or Renewal/Modification; and 2) the answer has changed from the answer previously provided. Applicants using NCVEC or FCC Form 605 for any other purpose are not required to answer this question.

FCC BASIC QUALIFICATION QUESTION INSTRUCTIONS AND PROCEDURES WHEN ANSWERING “YES”

If the answer to the basic qualification question (felony question) is ‘YES’, submit as an exhibit a statement explaining the circumstances and a statement giving the reasons why the Applicant believes that grant of the application would be in the

public interest notwithstanding the actual or alleged misconduct. If the Applicant responds ‘YES’ to this question

and has previously provided a statement and explanation regarding the circumstances as an attachment to a prior application filed in ULS, and the facts and circumstances are unchanged, the Applicant may refer to the previous application by identifying the application file number and indicating the disposition of the prior application. Find your FCC Application file number: http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/ApplicationSearch/search Advanced.jsp

Applicants can send the explanation and the application file number via e-mail to attach605@fcc.gov or via postal mail at: FCC, 1270 Fairfield Rd. Gettysburg, PA 17325-7245. The applicant is required to provide an explanation within 14 days of the application data being submitted to FCC. Failure to do so may result in the application dismissal without action. The applicant must provide sufficient information for the FCC to determine whether there exists any material and substantial question of fact regarding whether the applicant has the character qualifications to be a Commission licensee. There is no set checklist of items, but useful information includes:

•a detailed description of the conduct that resulted in the conviction or guilty plea, including time and place

•the date of the conviction or guilty plea

•the punishment that was imposed, and whether the sentence has been completed, or the applicant is still under any restriction or condition resulting from the conviction or guilty plea

•any efforts taken to remedy the wrongs committed and ensure that the applicant will not engage in such conduct in the future.

If the applicant does not request confidential treatment, the explanation will be publicly viewable in ULS. If the applicant requests that the explanation be confidential, it will not be visible to the public. However, in order to seek confidential treatment, the applicant must include a separate request that the material not be made available for public inspection. The request must contain a statement of the reasons for the request, and identify the portion(s) of the response for which

confidential treatment is requested. It is not sufficient to simply mark a document as “Confidential.” All attachments,

confidential or non-confidential should be accompanied by an application file number, to ensure that the explanation is attached to the proper filing.
