Declare renunciation of amateur radio license or call sign allocations
Service Description
Are you licensed to participate in the amateur radio service and no longer need your license or one of your call signs? Then you can declare your renunciation to the Federal Network Agency (BNetzA).
Send a declaration of renunciation to the BNetzA if you no longer need the following:
- Your authorization to participate in the amateur radio service and your associated personal callsign allocation,
- Your training callsign,
- your club station callsign or
- your callsign allocation for a remotely or automatically operated amateur radio station.
Please note: By renouncing your personal callsign allocation, you simultaneously renounce all other callsign allocations that may have been additionally allocated to you. You are then no longer authorized to participate in the amateur radio service.
The renunciation becomes effective at the latest at the end of the month in which the declaration is received by the BNetzA. Only then will your obligation to pay contributions end. Contributions due until then will be collected subsequently.
