I started my new year buying my license on line this year.  It lets me print it out, along with the receipt.  However, it wasn't clear if they will also mail me the waterproof copy I normally get when buying from a retailer. 
Anyone know if they will mail one out or I just deal with an inkjet printed version?  BTW inkjet is not waterproof! 

Happy New Year everyone!! :smt006

I don't know about CA since I've never bought one online here, but in Oregon you print it out at home or use an app on your smartphone.  Obviously I went with the printed version.  I printed it on rite-in-rain paper with a laser printer and signed  with a waterproof pen, which I also use to fill out the tags.

Paper:

I have plenty of paper if anybody in Humboldt wants to come by the office and print out their license.

You'll get your license in the mail within a week. I always buy mine online. Remember to cut the extra mailing slip off or else you'll have a long ass fishing license.

Yes. Waterproof but not always heatproof.

Oh, good point - it’s thermal plastic stuff, I had an Ab report cord turn mostly black one year as I left it on my truck console in summer.
