If you have problems dealing with 'governmentease' like I do, probably the simplest way of applying for a vanity call sign is through 'W5YI'. It isn't free, you pay for 'them' handling the paper work.
Finding out if a particular call sign is available is fairly simple, go to N4MC's site and look it up.

I agree Doc.
I used their services to obtain my vanity call. I got what I wanted, a 2x1 call in my region. I recently did my change of address on line at the FCC site. That wasn't too difficult. The attempt at a vanity call I was looking for was handled much better by them than if I had attempted it. It can be done on line but the results could be tricky.

Sign up with QRZ, it's free.
Log in, go to your profile, click on
the spot for applying for a vanity. It takes you to the correct FCC spot. I believe there's an $8 charge. I don't think the FCC does anything for free. It was $8 for a change of address application as well. Just be ready with multiple call choices you want. It surprising when you find the call you may want is not available.

I just went to the FCC web site and used the online application. It wasn't that difficult, but that was before they revised their site so I don't know if it is any more difficult now. Another option would be to prepare your list of calls, then apply for a vanity call when you take your exam to upgrade.
I gotit figured out.
And the fee is $14.50 on the FCC site.if you have w5yi do it its $39.95.
I personally dislike internet forms and all that I prefer a nice sharp pencil or pen and good old paper.
Started my list of calls I wouldn't mind having. I do have to ask this one if I'm in california and my call is kj6xxx can I change it to W6xxx ?

See what amateur vanity gets you? :w00t: cbers do it for free
I went all in with the FCC and petitioned them to relesase the Extra Class 2x1 call I wanted. I had to prove the original call holder was deceased by providing documentation. I was not related to the original holder nor did I know him in real life.
Took about two weeks from start to finish when they made the call available. Then my timing had to be perfect to be the first vanity application submitted for the call. It was and I was granted the call sign.
