  Cost money to maintain a web site and part of the charge it to recover $ lost to credit card company charge, if you print it why just not copy it as many times as you want for the price of a sheet of paper. Go to Walmart and get it for a $1 charge instead of $2 and get it printed out on waterproof paper. You can then make as many copies as you like also

  I always save a copy to my lab top when ordering my license. Then I make a couple copies and put them in the boat and truck, and my wallet so even if I lose my wallet it's there.

  Print it as a pdf file and save on the computer. Reprint them at will. I probably have 4-5 copies laying around. Gold sportsman license so they are in my fishing and hunting gear.

  Fish_stix, this forum isn't about solutions or common sense. Maybe it should be about reading comprehension though. Roc n Rol offered an answer to the question I asked. He noted that the handling fee's purpose may be to cover credit card costs. That answer is rational. I don't know if I can type any more clearly, but I will try. What rational reason is there to charge a reprinting fee? Do you understand the question? I don't care about circumventing the fee; I don't need to reprint my license, nor do I mind spending money to reprint my license. But I am curious about whether there is a rational reason for the reprint fee beyond punitive revenue generation.

  Having been a business owner for the last 35 years I understand the question perfectly! Anything an employee does costs money, even if it's just looking up your permit and processing a new copy. If you come to me and ask for a copy of one single page of your house plans that you lost you will get charged for the sheet of materials plus the time that my employee uses on your little project plus a overhead/profit margin. BTW, having 2 engineering degrees attained before the current computer age, I'm well versed in reading comprehension! :wink

  Your point makes perfect sense, if it takes a FWC employee to access a .pdf version of a license. But if you log into your MyFWC account to reprint your license, no employee time or energy is used.

  Buy a lifetime license! Money is invested and the principle never get used, only the interest, its a donation to the environment that lasts forever!

  There is also a cost to FWC to have the vendor that provides the online license service.
