Marine Radio Operators Permit (MROP)

How do I get a Marine Radio Operators Permit

There are many online courses available out there…. Just Google “Marine Radio Operators Permit” for a plethora of selections.  Once signed up, they will walk you thru the process.

 How long do I have before my MROP expires

MROP’s issued after March 25, 2008 no longer have an expiration date filled out.  They are good for life.

Prior to March 25, 2008 , FCC Marine licenses expired 5 years after issuance..  Those licenses that were still current on March 25th 2008 should have been grandfathered in.  If you have one of these licenses, check FCC.gov to be sure and print out a waiver.
