Information Collection, Use, and Sharing

The Baltimore Volunteer Examiner Team (BVET) is the sole owners of the information collected on this site. We only have access to collect information that you voluntarily give us via our registration form or through email. We will not sell or rent this information to anyone.

BVET does not accept or request your Social Security Account Number (SSAN or SSN) at any time. Instead of using your SSN, we require that the applicant register with the FCC and receive their FCC Registration Number (FRN) before registering for the exam session.

We will use this information to complete your application for an amateur radio license or upgrade of your existing license after you have passed any appropriate exam element(s). Once you have signed the application, your information goes to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and to the Laurel Volunteer Examiner Coordinator (Laurel-VEC). We do not share your information with anyone else. Your name, call sign, and license class, will be included in our session report listed on our website.

We ask for your email and telephone information so that we may contact you about the exam session for which you register. You have the option to have telephone number not included in your application to the FCC. We will use your information if we need to contact you if an error or problem with you application should occur.
