federal communications commission identification

Federal Communications Commission IDentification number found on almost every piece of computer hardware. FCC ID numbers are useful for finding information about the manufacturer of the hardware device or other useful information if no other numbers are found.

It is important to realize that the FCC ID and FCC REG are different numbers. First, the FCC databases are only searchable by the FCC ID and not the FCC REG. Second, many products may only have an FCC "Tested To Comply With FCC Standards" sticker, indicating the product meets the FCC regulations.

An FCC ID number listed on computer equipment should resemble one of the formats below.

FCCID: AAOXXXXXX
FCCID: DZL211029
FCCID: B4Z-34009-PIR
FCCID: LKD1
Note

Some hardware manufacturers may list their model number next to the FCC (Federal Communications Commission). Contact the manufacturer for information about that number.
