In fact, the FCC provides a web page for printing a "reference" copy of any FCC license: Go to the FCC Universal Licensing System. Search for a callsign. Select the callsign to display the license data page. Click on "Reference Copy". However, neither the FCC's mailed copy nor (especially) their web page reference copy is very attractive, containing water marks for example. For a high-resolution (1200 dpi) color license reference copy suitable for printing, use either of these two excellent websites below: RadioQTH. AE7Q License Generator.
