FCC Licensing and Schedule of Fees

We charge flat fees for most International Section 214 License Applications and 499 Registration.

214 License

Any party seeking to provide common carrier communications services between the United States and a foreign point must obtain an authorization from the Federal Communications Commission pursuant to section 214 of the Communications Act of 1934.

  • Streamlined (U.S. Ownership) - $500*
  • Non-Streamlined (Non-U.S. Ownership) - $1,200*

499 Registration

Providers offering interstate or international services are also required to register with the Universal Service Administrative Company ("USAC") and obtain a 499 Filer ID. USAC and the FCC require Filer IDs for purposes of Universal Service Fund, Telecommunications Relay Service Fund and other federal regulatory compliance duties. Many suppliers also require their customers to provide evidence of FCC Registration in compliance with the Carrier's Carrier Rule.

  • USAC 499 Registration - $350

* Does not include FCC filing fees (appx. $1,015). Courier expenses also separately billed

Secretary of State Corporate Registration Services

Companies conducting business must either incorporate as a domestic company or register as a foreign company with the Secretary of State for each jurisdiction where business is conducted. We offer incorporation and corporate registration services with the Secretaries of State in the 50 United States and District of Columbia. Services presently offered include:

  • Incorporation of Domestic Corporation
  • Formation of Domestic Limited Liability Company ("LLC")
  • Registration of Foreign Corporations to Transact Business
  • Registration of Foreign LLCs to Transact Business

For multi-state projects, we charge flat rates of between $100 - $125 per state registration (excluding filing fees and expenses).

Washington, D.C. Registered Agent Services

Federal law, 47 U.S.C. §413, and FCC regulations mandate that all companies registering with the FCC have a Washington D.C. registered agent. We provide Registered Agent Service in D.C. for annual fees starting at $125.
