The best way to get a license:
The cost of a licence is N$ 50 (this equals 50 South African Rands), and the
fastest way to obtain a licence is to fax a certified photocopy of the current
licence to the NCC together with a signed application form, and to state that
you will collect your licence upon your arrival in Windhoek, when the licence
fee of N$50,00 will be paid. The original or a certified photocopy of your home
licence should be taken with you when calling for your licence. If you have
sufficient time, the documents may be submitted by air mail accompanied by a
banker's draft for N$50,00 in favour of the NCC. The licence granted is subject
to such restrictions as to mode, power and frequency as may be contained in
your home licence.
Price: N$ 50
Special calls:
The call sign allocated is usually V51/ followed by your home call sign, e.g.
V51/OH2MCN.

Dear Veikko
I have just returned from a vacation in
Namibia Communications Commission (NCC)
Communications House
Private Bag 13309
The indicated Telephone and the Fax numbers are correct. I faxed a copy of my
license which was certified by a notary to the NCC two weeks before my visit. Bring
this certified copy with you and pay N$ 50 (this equals 50 South African Rands)
in cash and you can pick up the license at the above address.

PS: I have heard from hams
in V51 that you will only get your own V51 call if you take up residence there
(probably a temporary residence will do...).
