• Prepare #10 business size envelope. Address it to "ARRL/DXCC, 225 Main St, Newington CT, 06111. Do not add a return address. Affix one first class stamp.
• Arrange to meet your card checker.
• When meeting the card checker, bring your QSO cards, the envelope and the two forms (cover and detail sheets).
• The card checker will validate your paperwork, return your cards and mail the forms to ARRL
• Processing applications can take from one to three months. Be patient.
