A yearly fee of €51,24 is also charged for each type of station.  You can also apply for an additional station authorisation at the same price.

• If you have passed an exam and are asking you first operator’s certificate (or if you have passed a superior exam and enter a higher class), it will be included in the examination price.
• If you were a radio amateur in the past and you wish to resume the hobby, please send us your certificate of achievement. A certificate will be issued at the above-mentioned price.
• If you hold a certificate issued by another CEPT country and now live in Belgium, you can, based on that certificate, get a Belgian operator’s certificate at the above-mentioned price.
• If you hold a certificate issued by a non-CEPT country and now live in Belgium, you must provide BIPT, in addition to the copy of the certificate of achievement, with the detailed subject matter of the examination you took in that country. This matter has to be provided in French, Dutch or English through either an official translation (sworn translator) or an official website. BIPT will, according to this information, determine the level of the licence.

• The call sign has to be available.

• Call signs can not be reserved and are granted in order of request.
• If a radio amateur stops his/her activities, his/her call sign (primary only) can not be granted to a third party for 5 years.

An application form is available. The aeronautical certificate is offered with charge: €6,41 to pay on the account of BIPT: IBAN BE68 6791 7078 1634 (BIC : PCHQBEBB).

Do not forget to sign your form!

• the copy of the proof of the payment of €6,41;

Please note that the ATCO (Air Traffic Control) licence does not entitle to the operator’s certificate – it is essential that you provide the certificate of achievement of the FPS examination.

Once Brexit enters into force, i.e. on 1 January 2021, the European rules on international communications will no longer apply to calls and SMS messages from Belgium to the United Kingdom (and British numbers).

This means that when making a call or sending SMS messages from Belgium to the United Kingdom (and British numbers), consumer prices may be much higher than today as operators will no longer have to respect the current tariff ceilings.

For that we refer to the website of the FPS Mobility and FPS Economy

Once Brexit enters into force, i.e. on 1 January 2021, the European rules on international communications will no longer apply to calls and SMS messages from Belgium to the United Kingdom (and British numbers). As a consequence, operators will no longer be obliged to respect the tariff ceilings provided for in European legislation.

Operators which decide to no longer apply these tariff ceilings must notify their customers one month in advance of the new applicable tariffs.

Once Brexit enters into force, i.e. on 1 January 2021, the European rules on roaming will no longer apply in the United Kingdom.

Wholesale services

Providers of roaming services to roaming customers (hereinafter “roaming services providers”) operating within the EU:

• when they request wholesale access to roaming services, no longer benefit from the obligation for mobile network operators established in the United Kingdom to meet all the reasonable wholesale roaming access requests (Article 3 of the Regulation (EU) No 531/2012);
• will no longer benefit from EU regulation on the maximum wholesale roaming tariffs that the operators of a visited network established in the United Kingdom may charge for providing wholesale roaming services in the European Union (Articles 7, 9 and 12 of the Regulation (EU) No 531/2012). In the event of a Brexit without an agreement, customers must be informed of the new roaming tariffs that apply in the United Kingdom or from an EU country to the United Kingdom.

Retail services

• Operators will no longer be obliged to apply the retail service rules as laid down in European legislation to roaming customers in the United Kingdom. As these rules concern the implementation of Roam-like-at-Home tariffs, operators may, if they so wish, apply rates which are higher than domestic rates to roaming customers in the United Kingdom.
• Operators wishing to no longer apply Roam-like-at-Home tariffs must notify their customers at least one month in advance of the new roaming tariffs which are applicable in the United Kingdom or from a European country to the United Kingdom.
