Timeline to get your call sign

[Guest Jason]

I paid for the license a week ago, haven’t heard anything. I know we’re dealing with government agencies, but does anyone know the current wait time for a reply?

thanks in advance

It’s usually within a day or so.  The FCC system had a problem with amateur radio licenses but that has supposedly been fixed.  I recommend you log into you account and look to see.  It’s possible your email was bounced somewhere along the way.

Just got my license.  Took less than three days start to finish.  Make sure that you go to CORES and pay your bill if you haven't done so already.

Good luck.

One other thought.  Check status in the FCC ULS.  Perhaps they have your email address wrong or the authorization email somehow got sent to your spam/trash folder.  ULS will show if the license was granted.

If the ULS shows that the license was granted, you will see your callsign and technically you are good to go.

Don't forget to print out your official FCC license authorization while you're there.

Good luck.
