Physical certificates are also free, provided that the local administrative agencies have purchased this service from the service provider. If a service is purchased, the service agency provides it for free; if no service is purchased, the administrative agency provides it for free. There is no scenario where enthusiasts purchase them for 50 yuan.
According to the requirements of the State Council in late 2017, radio management authorities are not allowed to require amateur radio enthusiasts to provide original and copies of their operating licenses when applying for a radio station license, using the data held by the authority itself as the basis. Several years ago, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) provided funding for physical operating licenses; however, this has ceased in recent years. The electronic license displayed on the ZhiPu app can be used for communication among amateur radio enthusiasts.
Starting from June 1, 2023, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will issue a new version of amateur radio operator licenses, which remain free. Both physical and electronic versions have the same functionality. All amateur radio enthusiasts need to obtain a new license; however, the specific procedures for obtaining it have not yet been announced.
