- 
-**If I live in a different country, can I take the UK amateur radio exams?**\\  
-  
- 
- 
-Yes anybody can take the UK amateur radio exams from any country.  
-You can take the exams online and book the exams on the RSGB website.  There are 3 levels of Licence, Foundation, Intermediate and Full.

- 
-**Can I operate in the UK if I already have a licence elsewhere?**\\  
- 
-If you are temporarily visiting the UK you may be able to operate in the UK using your existing Licence. CEPT T/R 61-01. For operating in the UK longer-term you may be able to show your existing amateur Licence to Ofcom to get a UK Licence. (It depends on what type of Licence you have). 
- 
-**How do I get a HAREC Certificate?** \\  
- 
-Once you pass the UK Full exam you will be sent a HAREC certificate in the same envelope as the Full pass certificate.  Someone with a HAREC should be able to get an amateur radio Licence in other participating countries. CEPT Recommendation T/R 61-02. 
- 
-**Do I need a UK Address?** \\  
-  
-You do not need a UK address to take the UK exams. RSGB will happily send certificates abroad. If you want a UK callsign you will need a UK address. 
-You don’t have to live at the address, and you don’t need to have any right to live in or even enter the UK.   
-**You do not need to get a UK callsign in order to get a HAREC** certificate to obtain a licence abroad. It is sent in the same envelope as the Full pass certificate.
