You can log in to ACMA Assist to view a copy of your renewal notice, or contact us at info@acma.gov.au.

You will not receive a renewal notice for a non-assigned amateur licence.  As we have moved to class licensing arrangements, we can no longer renew non-assigned amateur licences. Under the amateur class licence, a qualified person with a suitable call sign may operate an amateur station. Non-assigned amateur licence holders were sent a confirmation letter that confirms their highest qualification and call sign/s.

We cannot add purchase order numbers. Please see your renewal notice for the methods of payment we accept. 

You can only use one email address as the contact for your licence notice. If possible, use a team email such as accounts@xxxxx.com.au instead of an individual’s email address.

If your invoice has passed the 60-day grace period, your licence is now expired. You will need to re-apply for the licence by contacting:

• an accredited person for assigned licences
• us at info@acma.gov.au for all other licence types.
