All current entities dating back to November 15, 1945, can be checked. Cards for deleted entities and cards indicating 160 meters must be sent to the ARRL DXCC Desk in a separate submission apart from any mailing by the field card checker.

ARRL certified field card checkers need the following:

1. QSL cards to be checked in the order specified below. *)

2. Completed DXCC Application form, available from the ARRL web site. See links below **)

3. Completed Record Sheet/s of contacts the applicant is claiming. See links below for downloads **)

4. Envelope with sufficient postage addressed to the ARRL DXCC Desk. See note below ***)

5. Check made out to the ARRL for the appropriate fees unless a Credit Card is used, which is the preferred mode of payment. See note re fees below ****)

*) The DXCC Desk asks that cards/records be sorted by band, then by mode, then multi-QSO cards at the end of the stack. So, first gather 80 Meter CW cards, then 80 Meter SSB cards, then 40 M CW cards, and so on, until 10 Meter SSB cards. After that, list any cards that have multiple QSOs on them.
