Fee applications should be paid using the Form 159 at the time of filing to avoid fee system problems. Applicants should use the Return to 159 form link if needed. Applications not paid within 10 days of filing may need to be dismissed and refiled if there are any fee payment complications.
You may also purchase license software to convert documents to PDF by visiting Adobe.

Forgot to pay for your application or need a copy of the FCC Form 159? Select the Return to 159 link on the menu. Please note that this feature is available only if your application is not in a final status.
Credit card payment over the Web is available. This can be used for any type of submission, and is the preferred method of payment for short-turnaround STAs.
