Apply for the issue of an amateur radio examination certificate or an amateur radio certificate

Description

If you have passed an amateur radio examination, you can apply for an examination certificate for amateur radio examinations. The examination certificate is also your amateur radio certificate.

You must have passed your amateur radio examination either at the Federal Network Agency (BNetzA) or at one of the following former competent authorities:

German Federal Post Office
Federal Office for Post and Telecommunications
Regulatory Authority for Telecommunications and Post.

Depending on the amateur radio examination you have passed, you will receive an amateur radio certificate for

Class A or
class E

If you have demonstrated your ability to transmit and listen to Morse code as part of an examination, the BNetzA can certify this in your examination certificate.

CEPT Novice license and HAREC

In addition to your examination certificate, you can also apply for a CEPT Novice license and the HAREC. With these licenses, you can apply for amateur radio permits abroad if you are only staying in the respective country temporarily and do not live there permanently.

You will receive a CEPT Novice license in accordance with ERC Report 32 if you have passed the following amateur radio examinations:

Class E or
Class 3.

A Harmonized Amateur Radio Examination Certificate (HAREC), i.e. an internationally harmonized amateur radio certificate in accordance with CEPT recommendation T/R 61-02, will be issued to you on application if you have passed one of the following amateur radio examinations:

Class A,
Class B,
Class C,
Class 1 or
Class 2

Please note: If you have taken your amateur radio examination in another country, you must apply for the certificate there. If you have only taken parts of the amateur radio examination with an authority in Germany, the BNetzA can only certify these parts of the examination.

Note: If you do not have a license for the amateur radio service and the statutory retention periods have already expired, it may be necessary to provide evidence that you have successfully passed the examination.
