Cancelling a License (for a SK)

To cancel a license, FCC requires that they receive a signed written request indicating that the current license holder is canceling the license.

If the licensee is a silent key, then the family member must include the deceased licensee's name and call sign in the letter to the FCC. Also, FCC requires that some type of evidence of death accompany the request--something that verifies that the licensee is deceased--such as a newspaper obituary, a death certificate or social-security/death-benefits documentation.

Supply this information to:

Allow FCC one to two weeks to cancel the license. You can verify the FCC has canceled the license by looking up the FCC license call sign data at http://wireless.fcc.gov/uls.

If the license has been canceled, FCC will show the license STATUS as "CANCELED".

If you have any further questions, please contact ARRL/VEC.
