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 :)

The FCC quit issuing paper licenses in February 2015. You may download a reference copy of your license on the ULS site.

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.
