As of Monday morning, August 25, 2025, the FCC's Electronic Batch Filing (EBF)
system-used by all VEC organizations to file exam sessions, individual
applications, and club license applications-is not processing submissions.
This outage means that applications for new and upgraded licenses, as well as
individual and club filings, are not currently being processed or issued.
ARRL VEC[1] alerted FCC staff, who are working to resolve the problem. While
the system briefly processed a small number of Monday's submissions on
Wednesday, it has since gone down again. Thousands of applications remain
pending on the FCC side.
ARRL VEC Manager Maria Somma, AB1FM, reported that the FCC has not provided an
estimate on when the system will be restored.
Please check back for updates on the FCC outage as more information becomes
available.
