Applied for automotive A/C license from the government to remove & buy R12 about 20 years ago. The test was twelve (12) questions long in center of a book eight pages. Ten of the answers were in the book, had to get 80% correct to acquire the license/ten questions right. Cost $35 dollars.

I am stuck. I got to the part where it said that I owed $35.00. I hit the continue to certify button. I "signed" the next page and pressed the button to submit my application. I am never prompted to make any payments. My status is "pending", and has been since the 9th, which I am sure is due to the non-payment. I have tried logging in and going to " Manage Existing FRNs | FRN Financial | Bills and Fees". There are no fees associated. I have no idea what to do. I am wondering if it's because the website from 1999 still says "Fiscal Year: 2022" and there is some sort of glitch happening? Any help would be appriciated.

@@MCTGMRS78009 UPDATE: I was able to figure out the issue. After creating the FRN accounts, you have to go to "Manage Existing FRNs". From there, you will see you are an administrator. Under one of the tabs you will see that even though you are an administrator, you do not have financial access. You need to add your FRN to the financial permissions. After you do this, you will be able to see and make payments.

Your video was the closest to what you really go thru but still not quite right. Most of your links don't work(as of Oct 10, 2022)404 error not found-From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol. Trying to find your way thru the FCC website is a freaking nightmare. There needs to be a video just to find the right sites. I ended up using DuckDuckGo and just typing what you showed onscreen to navigate to the right sites. Even without your links working I don't think I would have made it without your video. At least you showed WHAT sites you needed to get to. Thank you.
