During the government shutdown the FCC servers, where test results are posted, are offline. However, test sessions will continue during the shutdown. Session results will be submitted to W4VEC who will hold them and then post them when the FCC servers come back online.
CORES registration system will remain available to the public and will not be affected by the shutdown. Exam candidates can still register in CORES and be assigned an FCC Registration Number (FRN) at https://apps.fcc.gov/cores/userLogin.do. The FCC's Universal Licensing System (ULS) databases are currently unavailable to the public. ULS and related systems (like the License Manager, License Search, Application Search, etc.) are not accessible during the shutdown. Users cannot file applications with the FCC, or access license data, including address information.
There are a number of exam sessions scheduled in the greater Charlotte area. The self-registration site for these sessions remains online as it is run by a non-government organization. If you know of anyone who wants to take a test, pass this link on to them:

The next Charlotte Amateur Radio Club test session is on November 1st. The link to the registration page is:
