"PROOF OF LICENSING" CERTIFICATE
Membership in many clubs and associations is only open to amateurs licensed
for at least a specified number of years. If your original license has been
lost, the Callbook may be able to provide the required proof of licensing
from its extensive library of historical records. A notarized certificate
attesting to the issue in which your call first appeared is accepted by most
organizations as proof you were licensed when that issue was published.
This beautiful certificate makes a great souvenir or gift.
