GMRS Radio License Information
A license is required in order to operate a General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) radio in the United States.

The license is issued by the Federal Communications Commission.


Forms
There are three forms that must be filled out in order to obtain a GMRS license.
  • FCC 605 Main Form
    • Basic form - fairly simple to fill out
    • PDF file
  • FCC 159 Remittance Advice
    • Present fee required for a license is $80 (valid for 5 years)
    • PDF file
    • Form 1070Y is used to determine fees / codes  (see pages 4-5)

    • This schedule is for your records.  It establishes a temporary call sign that you can use as soon as you send in the other two forms.
