This page announces the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications' digitalization of radio station licenses effective October 1, 2025. Under amended Radio Law and Broadcasting Law, paper licenses will be abolished and all license information will be digitalized. Licensees can view their license records online for free through the Ministry's portal. Electronic applicants will have their records automatically accessible, while those with prior licenses must request access. Paper licenses remain valid as proof documents. New application fees apply from the implementation date.
