FCC Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit-Limited Use (RL)

An RL generally authorizes the same privileges as a Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit (RR), but is issued only to persons who are NOT legally eligible for employment in the United States. However, if your eligibility for an RL is based on your holding of a valid FCC radio station license, then the RL authorizes you to operate only your licensed radio station, and no other radio station.
Qualifications
To qualify, you must:
hold a valid United States pilot certificate issued by the Federal Aviation Administration; or
hold a foreign aircraft pilot certificate which is valid in the United States on the basis of a reciprocal agreement with the foreign government; or
hold a valid radio station license issued by the FCC in your own name. (An RL issued on this basis will authorize you to operate your own station only.)
AND you must:
be able to speak and hear; and
be able to keep at least a rough written log; and
be familiar with provisions of applicable treaties, laws and rules which govern the radio station you will operate.
Term of License
An RL is issued for the holder's lifetime.
How to Obtain a License
Submit FCC Form 605 through electronic filing in ULS. There is no proof of passing certificate requirement for an RR. Per Public Notice DA 15-72, the FCC no longer mails license authorizations. If you provide an email address on your application, a link to print your official copy of your license will be automatically emailed to you when the application has granted. Licensees may also log into ULS to download official authorizations. Instructions can be found at How to Obtain Official Authorizations from ULS. Please file in ULS to replace a lost, stolen, or mutilated license.
