How do I get a GMRS license?

Apply online at the FCC's Universal Licensing System (ULS) website. Pay $35, no test required (unlike ham radio). The license covers your entire immediate family for 10 years.

Can I use GMRS radios for business?

No — GMRS is for personal and family use only. Businesses must use commercial frequencies. However, farm and ranch use within a family operation falls under personal use.
