The License At A Glance Page will appear upon login for filers who hold only one license. If you hold multiple licenses, display this page by clicking on the call sign you want to renew. Select Renew from the Work on This License Menu. The instructions will indicate when to upload a waiver request attachment. (Late- filed renewal applications must be submitted with the appropriate waiver request and, if applicable, waiver fee.) Continue to follow the onscreen prompts and instructions until your renewal request is completed. The information provided here updates a previous Public Notice regarding late filing of renewal applications. 1 Attachments Should Be Standard Letter- Size Filers should submit only standard letter- size attachments when filing online. Documents of any other size will be converted to letter- size, which may result in the loss of information. Enhanced Update and Renew License Manager simplifies updates of license- related information. The Update and Renew functions allow you to update licensee name and address, contact information, and control points, all in one application filing. Prior to License Manager, multiple applications were required to renew a license and update this information. License Manager also provides the ability for you to update your administrative data, such as licensee name and address, when you file most applications. In addition, when a license is within the 90 day renewal window, a message to renew the license appears on the License At A Glance Page. To renew a single license, select the link that says “Begin the renewal process,” or select “Renew” from the Work on This License Menu. To renew multiple licenses, select Renew Licenses from the left- hand menu. All call signs eligible for renewal will appear under Select Licenses. When renewal is completed, look for an application purpose of “RO” or “RM” on the confirmation screen to verify license renewal. 1 See Waiver Requests Required for Late- Filed Renewal Applications in Most Wireless Services, Public Notice, DA 03- 2729 (rel.

To access all applications, including those that were automatically saved, click My Applications in the left- hand navigation menu. Then click Saved to access all saved (and not yet submitted) applications.
