ARRL VEC PatchThe ARRL VEC manual states the following:

"When no photo ID is available, the candidate must present any two of the following items:

  • Non-photo ID/driver's license (some states still have them);
  • Social Security Card (as FCC now requires each applicant to supply a taxpayer ID number)
  • Birth certificate (must have the appropriate seal);
  • Minor's work permit or school report card;
  • Utility bill, bank statement or other business correspondence that specifically names the person; or
  • Postmarked envelope addressed to the person at his or her current mailing address as it appears on the Form 605."

A video game magazine or Boy Scout Boy's Life magazine addressed the child will serve as one of the two required IDs. Also, a school year book can provide photo proof of the child being tested. Even school report cards can be used. Anything else of a similar nature that demonstrates a child's identity and residence. By being accompanied by his or her parent does not satisfy the rule.

If an individual will be testing for a license upgrade, they must bring a copy of their current FCC Amateur License or the CSCE form if it is not more than 365 days from the issue date.
