Who may select a desired call sign under the vanity call sign rules?

Under the vanity call sign rules, any licensed amateur operator has the ability to select a desired call sign. This means that whether an individual holds a Technician, General, or Amateur Extra Class license, they can apply for a vanity call sign. The vanity call sign program was designed to allow licensed amateurs the flexibility to obtain a call sign that may have personal significance or appeal to them.

Options that mention specific license class restrictions or duration of licensing are incorrect because the vanity call sign system is inclusive of all license classes, rather than limiting it to certain levels of achievement or length of licensure. This accessibility ensures that all licensed amateurs, regardless of their experience or class of license, have the opportunity to personalize their amateur radio identity with a call sign they prefer.
