7. A Confirmation screen appears, listing the licenses included in the duplicate license request along with their corresponding file numbers. The FCC will mail duplicate copies of these licenses to you. Please record your application's file number for future reference. Applications filed electronically are not officially submitted until the system provides you with a confirmation message containing the file number assigned to your application.

If application fees are required for your application, the Confirmation screen also shows the payment type code and the fee amount. Refer to Submitting Application Fees for instructions on submitting the fees required for your application.
