CEPT

Non CEPT Licensing in Portugal:


After going back and forth five times with the CT licensing folks, I have the following suggestions:
1. They want a notarized copy of your license or your actual license.
2. They want a copy of the information pages in your passport.
3. Include brand name, serial numbers, and type of radio(s) being brought to the country.
4. Include 1600 escudos, ( about $10.00) IN PORTUGUESE CURRENCY.
5. Indicate where you will be staying as this is stated on my license which took about four months to obtain.
6. All correspondence received from the ICP was in Portuguese.

Finally, CT1EEB (Jose) was of great help with the translations and general advice.
