You can request one by following the procedures laid out here: http://www.arrl.org/files/file/VEs/Obtain%20License%20Copy%202015.pdf
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).
