How do I handle a dismissal for lack of a signature on an interactive application?

You are not able to submit an application interactively without a signature. If you receive a dismissal of an interactive filed application for no signature, then contact Technical Support at 202-414-1250.

NOTE: The FCC notes a situation where an applicant filed an ASR application electronically, but she also attached a paper copy to her license application for the site. The Gettysburg staff attempted to process the paper application but dismissed it due to lack of a valid signature. Thus, two applications existed for the same site-a granted application filed electronically and a dismissed application filed manually (i.e., by paper). Because the applicant did not realize that her paper attachment had been processed, she believed that her electronic registration had been dismissed for lack of a signature. To avoid this situation, applicants should reference only the ASR number on licensing applications and not attach a paper copy of Form 854.
