I’ve never had a problem renewing my license. Are you sure you have your correct FCC username and password? It is not the same as your Federal Regisration Number (FRN). If you don’t have one, check out https://apps.fcc.gov/coresWeb/publicHome.do

If you know your FRN it should be simple.

QRZ runs a renewal service that is A-Z, everything you need for renewal.

It is a payed service but totally hands off, they do it all.

HAM radio problems.

Are the Muzzies sabotoging it?

Try the links from the ARRL page: https://www.arrl.org/call-sign-renewals-or-changes

I got my license pre-fee (now it is $35 for a new license, $35 for a vanity, and $35 to renew). No fee for a license upgrade. There is also a link on that page to the FCC FAQ for license renewal.

What does a HAM license get you that you can’t get with an ordinary cellphone?

[dragnet2]

They intentionally made amateur radio licenses nearly impossible to renew for free. It’s my belief those at the FCC are working with outsiders to charge money to simply renew an amateur radio license. it’s outrageous.

[samiam5]

The FCC has possibly the worst website on the internet. I use it almost daily.
Try typing in your 10 digit FRN. Sometimes a copy and paste inputs more than 10 digits.

[dragnet2]

By the way I speak from experience. The FCC for whatever reason does not want you to renew your amateur radio license for free like it’s always been. They’ve made it so convoluted to renew the license it’s a joke, people have spent days simply trying to renew their licenses. Someone in the FCC is literally forcing people to use outside pay services to renew.

In case you don't have this:

FCC Licensing Support Center at 877-480-3201 (Mon.-Fri. 8 a.m.-6 p.m. ET)

I found the first step in renewing (in June) to be straightforward. The second step—actually paying for it—could not be done on the weekend. I tried a couple of times. But once their system “opened” on Monday, we were able to get through with our payment.
