Dave,
Renewed- online- my Commercial Radiotelegraph License, two months ago,
and after the FCC received the application and granted the renewal, they
sent the following e-mail- which allowed me to download an "Offical
Copy" of the new T license- which never has to been renewed again:
This email is to notify you of the recent grant of your application(s).
The Commission currently provides access to the official version of your
electronic licenses through License Manager in the Universal Licensing
System (ULS) or by email.
The official version of your recently granted license can be accessed
using the link below. Please note that this link will connect you to the
most current version of your license. If you use this link at a future
date, any changes made after the receipt date of this email will be
reflected on the authorization. This link will remain active for 30 days.

Unfortunately, the FCC seems unable to make use of the same digital
signature used by the rest of the federal government on PDFs so the
document you print isn't anything approaching a legal copy of your
license (and, in any case, the "license grant" is the DB record and
not the paper and it's been that way for at least a decade). Be nice
if they could get their IT ... stuff together. It's not hard - see,
for example: https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2016-07-07/pdf/2016-16047.pdf
And, speaking of the FCC not having their IT stuff together:

Has anyone renewed their ham license recently. I renewed mine online and it
appeared to work.
I received two very official looking letters from the FCC within a week of
submitting the application.
First one was "Ref: CORES Registration Update".
Second one was "Ref: PSQ Request for your CORES FRN:xxxxxxxxx". This letter
indicates
"Entity Type: INDIVIDUAL ENTITY" which is reassuring.
Neither letter indicates anything is wrong nor does it mention anything
about a license. I realize that the federal government is drowning in the
paper work mess they have created to give them something to do but this is
a bit much.
Do they ever send you an actual paper license ? I need to send a copy to
the DMV to renew my ham plates. It has been almost 4 weeks. I sent in a
request for duplicate license after three weeks.

I recently renewed mine online and requested a paper copy. I received it in
about 3 weeks. Doesn't look any different than if I printed it at home. I
guess pretty soon we will be able to print money the same way :)

Tom,
No more paper license mailed to you. This has been for a number of months
now.
But using the FRN number you can log in and print your own license.

If you participated in Field Day and you plan on submitting your group's

submission sheets in to me. AMSAT's deadline is sooner than the ARRL
deadline for Field Day.
Send them to kk5do@xxxxx.xxx or kk5do@xxxx.xxx. I will send a reply
email when I have received them (usually that day or the next day). If
you do not receive an email that I have received your submission, try
again. Sometimes electrons in free space are lost for no apparent reason.
I will be at a conference all day Monday and might not have a chance to
send your confirmation email until the evening.

Hi!
When this announcement came out last fall, I logged into the FCC's
ULS system and set my preferences to send a paper copy of my
licenses. When I renewed my amateur license in March, I had a paper
copy in my PO box about a week after I did the renewal online.
It had "Official Copy" printed across it, front and back, and was
printed on what appears to be normal white copier/printer paper.
I just logged into the ULS system this morning, and downloaded
a PDF file with all of my FCC licenses/permits - my amateur
license, a GMRS license, and a Restricted Radiotelephone Operator
Permit. These also had "Official Copy" across each page in the 5-
page PDF file - two pages each for the amateur license and RROP,
and one page for the GMRS license. This is different than the PDF
file I downloaded from the ULS system after I logged out. Anyone
can download a "Reference Copy" PDF of an FCC license, which has
"Reference Copy" printed across each page of the PDF.
I may go back and change my preference to skip the paper copy of
my FCC licenses being mailed to me. For now, I'll leave it as is.
Even though we are not required to carry a paper copy of our amateur
licenses when operating in the US, I prefer to have the wallet-
card version on me for those occasions where I might be asked for
it.
73!

Sadly, though, no digital signature ... At least they set the doc
restrictions to Not Allowed for everything but printing. Easy to
create one that looks just like it with fake info without the
signature, though.
Thanks for pointing out the Official vs Reference - I'd not noticed
that before.

Peter,
Anyone could Photoshop an "Official Copy" license document for
printing, even if the PDF carried a digital signature. Other
than for operating outside the USA where the printed license
is required (CEPT, IARP, or other arrangements), FCC rules state
that we are licensed if we have a call sign in the ULS database.
That's been the case for some time, even before the recent change to
not mail paper copies of licenses by default.
Even though FCC rules don't require us to have a paper copy of
our license with us, with a few exceptions mentioned above, I
still keep the card version of my license with me. It has been
helpful, even if that happens just outside US borders.
73!
