An FRN, or FCC registration number, is a 10-digit number that is assigned to a business or individual registering with the FCC. This unique FRN is used to identify the registrant’s business dealings with the FCC. The FCC will use the FRN to determine if all of a registrant's fees have been paid. Each entity featured on an E-Rate application needs to acquire the FCC Registration Number (FCCRN).

You are encouraged to register through the FCC’s Registration site as soon as you expect to do business with the FCC (A filer, licensee, certificate holder, or any entity sending payments to the FCC is considered to be doing business) . This way, you will be ready to access any of the electronic licensing systems without having to go through the registration process at the time you submit an application.

You need a Taxpayer Identification Number(TIN) or the EIN ( Employer Identification Number) to obtain the FCCRN.

Registering via the FCC Registration site is how you provide the FCC with basic information. Each individual or organization doing business with the FCC is required to provide and maintain a current official contact address. The contact address you provide will be used to mail important FCC-related information to you (see the entity registration FAQs for details).

Via the Internet

Registering online is the fastest way to receive your FRN. You will receive your FRN immediately after submitting your registration information. The FRN will appear on the registration confirmation web page. You will not have to wait for your FRN to be mailed to you. In addition, you will be able to make immediate modifications to your registration information.
