I'm just curious . . .

How do you accomplish this confirmation? What happens if you don't?

I get the impression that this is functionally equivalent to the US
license in which we must renew (but every ten years now, instead of
five). There's no fee for renewal and it can be accomplished in a few
minutes using the FCC web site.

It's only just been introduced this year, I received mine a few weeks ago.
It can be renewed in the same way as yours via the web, or of course by
post. If you don't, the licence is revoked and the call will be cancelled.
