Amateur radio vanity callsign

 I don't know why the available instructions are so unhelpful to get a personal vanity callsign. The ARRL's guidance (https://www.arrl.org/applying-for-a-vanity-call) isn't too bad. Here are simplified instructions that worked for me:

  1. Go to the FCC License Manager https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsEntry/licManager/applicationsSummary.jsp?frnKey=0020294591&newSearchInd=true
  2. Log in
  3. On the right side, click "Apply for a Vanity Callsign"
  4. License type is typically "Primary License."
  5. Complete personal information.
  6. Proceed to and complete certification, with title, "Wireless Operator."
  7. Proceed to CORES to pay.
  8. Log into CORES.
  9. Select applicable FRN.
  10. View/Pay, Awaiting Payment Completion.
  11. Complete the self-explanatory prompts to pay (recommend debit/credit card).
