I'm guessing (with the advantage of having read the post above yours) that it's about $60.

I paid the money, and have a number, but either never received the certificate, or have lost it since I first paid for it 5 years ago. I've been all over the FCC site trying to find an easy way to get a replacement copy. Does anyone know? Thanks...

Old thread I know, but a quick update...

Fee is now $65....

BS for a semi useless permit, and the process was to say the least frustrating.

Now I wait too see if the Gov can get it processed and mailed out correctly!

And I quote:
__________________________________________________
PLEASE NOTE: Per Public Notice DA 15-72, The FCC no longer mails license authorizations.
__________________________________________________


Log in at https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsEntry/licManager/login.jsp and click on the word "now" in the green banner that includes the text "download your official electronic authorizations now."

Apparently the additional $5 doesn't cover the ever-increasing price of a stamp nowadays.
