Supporting Amateur Radio in Essex
A common question we get here at Essex Ham – “Where can I download the full Ofcom Amateur Radio Licence from?”
Surprisingly, it’s rather hidden, and actually, you need to download two documents to get the entire licence
Hopefully of use.

Yes, that helps thanks.
Assuming you already have an account at ofcom…
1 log in.
2 click the link in the post above.
3 scroll down the ofcom page and click ‘View my licences’.
4 scroll down again and click the row listed for your licence.
5 click ‘View’.
6 look for a small flower icon. Click it to create a PDF copy of your licence.
7 all being well, you should receive the pdf files in your email inbox.
Note: the flower icon should change to a normal pdf download icon.
I hope that helps, not further confuses, you.
User friendly? I think not!
