The Federal Communications Commission uses an electronic Universal Filing System to handle and process all application-related paperwork. Just make sure to have all of the relevant documents with identification and registration information handy. The critical renewal period for an FCC license is within 90 days prior to the expiration date. There is also a two-year grace period after the license has expired in which it may be renewed.
