The QRZ callsign database is updated continuously from a variety of sources. Some rules are observed to insure that only legitimate amateur radio callsigns are inserted into the database. This article is for those non-USA amateurs who are new to the site and wish to have their callsign added to the database.

The first rule of adding callsigns to the database is that it may only be done by a licensed amateur whose callsign already exists in our database. This might sound like a problem for someone who is new to the site, however, rest assured that we will do everyting possible to get you listed. If this is your first time on QRZ and you are a non-USA amateur then you must be assisted to get your call sign listed. Getting assistance is easy. First, any existing QRZ member whose callsign is listed can help you. If you have a friend on QRZ, just ask them to add your callsign and you're done.

If you don't know anyone personally, you may also add your information to the database yourself provided you supply documentation of your valid amateur radio license.  Through this process, you will provide your information, but it will not be visible on the site until your information is reviewed and verified by our team.   To start this process, please visit our DX Register Tool and add the required information.   Please be patient.  The review process can take a day or two to complete.  Be sure to watch your email.  You will receive an initial email on completing the information and a second email indicating the results of the review.   If there are issues, you may open a ticket through the QRZ Support Cente.

• A common problem is that some users don't register with their callsign as their user name. The system needs your username and callsign to match and unless this is the case, your callsign cannot be added to the database.   If your username does not match your callsign, please open a support ticket through the QRZ Support Center to get it changed.
• Another common problem is failing to provide documentation of a valid amateur radio license.  Please be sure to provide the proper information or your addition will be delayed.  Once verified, the documentation will be deleted.  We do not maintain copies of user's documents.
• Another issue arises when USA Amateurs change or get a new callsign from the FCC. A USA Amateur callsign should NEVER be added by a person. The QRZ system will automatically add your new callsign within 3 days of it becoming effective on the FCC's website. This is especially important for QRZ Subscribers who risk losing their subscription if they don't wait for the system do do the update. The system will update your username to your new callsign and transfer your bio and other information automatically. Your login password will remain the same. Be patient, it will work.
• Sometimes, when all else fails, a QRZ Administrator is always available to help you. To reach the admins, just go to the special web page for the QRZ Support Center and chose from one of the common support options, or give them a detailed message. You'll be up and running in no time.

Above all, Welcome to QRZ!. This site is run by amateurs, for amateurs, and we want nothing more than to provide you with the best ham radio site on the planet!
