International Station License
If your vessel will be entering the sovereign waters of a country other than the U.S.A. or Canada, you
should contact that country’s communications regulatory authority for licensing information.
Radio Call Sign
Currently, the FCC does not require recreational boaters to have a license. The United States Coast
Guard recommends that the boat’s registration number and state of registry (e.g., IL 1234 AB) be used
as a call sign and be clearly visible on the vessel.
Canadian Ship Station License
You need a Radio Operator’s Certificate if your vessel is operated in Canadian waters. Radio Operator
training and certification is available from the Canadian Power Squadron. Visit their website at http://
www.cps-ecp.ca/
UK requires a ships radio license and a marine radio operators certificate before transmitting equipment can
be used aboard a vessel. Other European countries have specific requirements of their own.
For detailed information and applications, contact the Royal Mail Licensing Centre in the UK. In other
countries contact the local equivalent of the UK Royal Mail or the national telecommunications authority.
